It was at Hine Lk at R.A. Easton early this morning. Life got in the way of my 
reporting it, however.

Observation start time: 09:00:00 
Observation end   time: 14:30:00 
Total observation time: 5.5 hours

Official Counter:Debbie James

Observers:Carol Cwiklinski, Steve Small

Visitors:
Two women visited the station in the next to the last hour, asking what we
were doing.  After explaining about Hawk Watch, one said she is a volunteer
for Jeffco Open Space, and last year was treated to a canyon to view
nesting Golden Eagles, and many other raptors.  


Weather:
Temps ranged from a brisk -1 to 5 Celcius for a high, with high humidity. 
Winds were low.  Mt. Morrison had fog 1/3 way down first hour of the
morning, and then it slowly lifted over the day.  All but the last hour was
completely overcast.  Had a sprinkle of snow in the 2nd and 3rd hours.

Raptor Observations:
Migrating raptors were observed in all locations, except the West Ridge
while fog was present, which makes me very glad that Carol and Steve were
there to see over all the miles of range--they are terrific spotters. 
Throughout the day migrators could be seen from Green Mountain on the East,
on the east side of the Ridge, overhead, and also on the west side of
Ridge.  Height of flights were various, but many were very high, at range
of bins.  Locals: 5 Red-Tailed Hawks; 2 male American Kestrels; 1
Sharp-shinned Hawk; and 1 Turkey Vulture.  

Non-raptor Observations:
The trail was muddy and slick going up, but by this afternoon it was in
good shape.  Other birds seen or heard: 2 American Robin; 1 Townsend's
Solitaire; 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet; 10 Black-billed Magpie; 15 House Finch;
3 Woodhouse's Scrub Jay; 4 American Crow; 4 Common Raven; 2 Chickadee
(sp.); 5 Bushtit; and 1 Rock Pidgeon.

Predictions:
Saturday looks to have similar weather to today, so hopefully the migrator
count will still be high.

More site information at hawkcount.org:  
http://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=123

Site Description:
Dinosaur Ridge is the only regularly staffed hawkwatch in Colorado and is
the best place in the world to see migrating Ferruginous Hawks. Dinosaur
Ridge may be the best place in the country to see the rare dark morph of
the Broad-winged Hawk (a few are seen each spring). Hawkwatchers who linger
long enough may see resident Golden Eagles, Red-tailed Hawks and Prairie
Falcons, in addition to migrating Swainson's, Cooper's and Sharp-shinned
Hawks, American Kestrels and Turkey Vultures. Peregrine Falcons and
Ferruginous Hawks are uncommon; Northern Goshawk is rare but regular.
Non-raptor species include Rock Wren, and sometimes Bushtit, Western
Bluebird, Sandhill Crane, White-throated Swift, American White Pelican or
Dusky Grouse. Birders are always welcome. 
The hawkwatch is generally staffed by volunteers from Bird Conservancy of
the Rockies from about 9 AM to around 3 PM

[cobirds] New Yard Bird! Weld

['The "Nunn Guy"' via Colorado Birds]

Hi all

Exciting news! New yard bird #135.

The bad news was last year there was a fire on our 35 acres (burned about 
10 or so acres). Source unknown but I have my suspicions :-)

The good news is I predicted (last year) we'd see Long-billed Curlew or 
Mountain Plover as a yard bird. That prediction just came true for one 
species--my wife just called and photoed and videoed 3 Long-billed Curlew 
in our burn scar. Yay!

Thanks, Gary Lefko, Nunn
