There is a gap above the door which allows them to come and go. Between the

Thanks to everyone who responded to my question. The consensus is that it is an
immature, probably female, Sharp-shinned Hawk. It is too small to be a Coopers
and a bit larger than a Kestrel.
Thanks so much!

A friend of mine reported on Facebook, along with a video that a flock of
Sandhill Cranes were flying over Niwot about noon today.
Isn't this late for them? I saw the video and it does appear that they are
Sandhills.

My guess is the same. There is another Red-tailed Hawk nest a few trees away.
Someone else suggested an Osprey but I really don’t think so, it is too far
from water. The nearest reliable water/pond/lake is over a mile away, and would
they nest that close to a red-tailed hawk nest? I wish I could

I believe that this might be a Golden Eagle. It was spotted just east of old

before so if I am wrong, please tell me.
