Ray and I and Dodie and Bob Adel went to Glenmere Park yesterday. We arrived about 4:40PM and looked for the tree described by Nick Komar.

Two more arrived in a few minutes. One posed on the dead branch giving us great looks through the scope. More may have come, but it was hot and we moved to the shade to look at the egrets and Night Herons before leaving. Thanks to all who posted previously and gave such good directions. Go to the Pavilion building. Ours were in the dying coniferous tree behind the Pavillion. As you face the Pavillion with the lake behind you, the tree is on the right side.

[cobirds] Red Shouldered Hawk
We live in Windsor, but only today ventured over to look for the hawk. We traipsed around in the SWA area and compared notes with a few people in that area. Luckily, I had worn snow boots. With no luck there, we headed south on 257 and ended up in a parking lot of a business on the East side of the road (Hydrotex, I think). We were about to leave and I scanned the far trees with binoculars when I noticed a hawk in my field of vision. The time was close to Noon. It was perched on a piece of red machinery at the business and not very far from the car. We went over the description Eric Defonso had provided which we had with us, checked the Sibley's and our printout of Eric's picture of the bird. We then backed down slowly along a fence to get a view of the front of the bird. At that point the bird flushed--no red in the tail. It landed on a green fence type apparatus in the middle of a big field adjacent to where it had been. We thought it would stay there and went back to the SWA to tell the people we had met. They followed us back but the bird was then gone. We scanned for about 15 minutes but did not refind it. Joe Roller then received a call saying the bird was back near SWA and the group pursued their quest. Ray and I went to Fort Collins to check for Wood Ducks at Sharp Pointe Pond--none. We were very fortunate to get great looks at the Hawk and we were lucky we stayed in the car as it was so close we would have flushed it immediately had we opened a car door. As Eric had said it was sitting straight up and appeared smaller and slimmer than a Red-Tailed would. When it landed on the green fence thing there was a Red-Tail on a nearby telephone pole that we were able to compare it with. We hope the others had success. It was fun being out with others on a similar quest and sharing information. Joan Glabach Windsor, CO
[cobirds] Snow Geese- Windsor Reservoir
Someone asked about Snow Geese. We had them on Windsor Reservoir on Nov. 20 and 21. There were two Snow Geese and also a Blue-Phase. On Nov. 21 about 3:30PM a Bald Eagle began circling and diving at one of the Snow Geese. By the time I got binoculars the Bald Eagle was in the water and seemed to be trying to take off and I then realized what had happened. After that two Bald Eagles sat in a tree by the Northwest shore and we thought they might be waiting for the dead goose to drift toward them. It was drifting in their direction but we never did see them actually get the goose. About two days later we saw one goose on the Reservoir and wondered if it was the survivor of the pair. This time it was among many Canada Geese. On the day of the attack the two Snow Geese were in an area on the water by themselves---safety in numbers? We have not seen any Snow Geese here since.

[cobirds] cranes--Windsor
A beautiful V formation of about 400 cranes flew over us on our morning walk. Also seen were Mountain Bluebirds and a Northern Harrier. Yesterday there were two Redtail Hawks hunting in our yard.

[cobirds] rockwren--Windsor
We have two Rock Wrens in our yard today. We had one previously on 9/13 as well. I guess it was worth putting in all the rocks to get this treat.
