Blank Hi all, This afternoon while banding at my banding sight at the YMCA of the Rockies, we saw a male Northern Goshawk come flying in atttempting to capture a Black-billed Magpie. It was quite the show watching the hawk move through the dense bushes chasing a young magpie.
As the Hawk came in the area it was chased by magpies and crows. The hawk moved through the bushes for a few minutes before it flew off with the corvids in hot persuit. After a few minutes, the hawk came back for a second attempt at a snack, but was unsuccessful again. I think the magpies are getting wise to the hawk. This is the second time within three weeks that I have seen the hawk come through the banding site. If your interested in what we have been catching, check out the website and press the banding link http://www.scottrashid.com Scott Rashid Estes Park --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Colorado County Birding: http://www.coloradocountybirding.com/ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
