Today I found a Cooper's Hawk nest with nestlings in it and I was very surprised today to find an immature Cooper's Hawk defending the nest. I found the following on the *Birds of North America* online site: "Usually 2 yr but year-old immatures reported as 6% to 22% of breeding females." I was una

[cobirds] TRICOLORED HERON and Green Heron continue at Holcim Wetlands east of Florence

I missed the TRICOLORED HERON this morning at Holcim Wetlands but Van Truan who with his wife was a short distance ahead of me on the trail said he saw it and it flew off towards the river. I did spot a Green Heron there again today. SeEtta Moss Canon City Personal blog @ http://BirdsAndNature.b
