I'd like to say mine was the handsome Krider's Red-tailed Hawk that our Denver Urban CBC group found perched in a big tree as we gathered at about 7:45 a.m. New Year's at the First Creek @ DEN Open Space trailhead out near the airport. But I'd already been up since zero-dark-thirty to check out waterfowl at several nearby ponds. My first birds that day: A raft of five Common Goldeneyes (all males). They were in a pool on the mostly frozen Emerald Strand, an L-shaped finger of water in Denver's Gateway Park area (office parks/apartments/hotels) west of the Peñs Boulevard access highway and south of the Arsenal.
