We did the same yesterday afternoon. Spotted thousands of snow and Canada-type geese on the lake, with 5 bald eagles in trees along the edge. Eagles, one at a time, would occasionall strafe the geese, but no collateral damage occurred. Numerous rough-legged hawks, one ferruginous, one prairie falcon and several kestrels seen along the road from FC to Sterling. As we approached upper campground at N Sterling Reservoir we disturbed a mature northern harrier sitting on a low fence post from about 20' away. But alas, now snowy owl. Beautiful, but gray day for a ride to NE Colorado, and to a spot neither Joel nor I had ever been to. It's often not about the destination, but the journey... -Pat Hayward Masonville at 5400' Larimer County
