I have to add to this "Stadium Birds" discussion. Years ago, at the old Bronco Stadium, I had fun watching Common Nighthawks swooping down into the stadium and hawking insects - which were being attracted by the bright lights. (Do nighthawks "hawk"?) I can't remember, but it may have been better entertainment than the game.

I missed this one, but over the years have seen large falcons (peregrine and/or prairie) a number of times at the various Denver stadiums during games. They like the high boxes & perches around the edges of the stadium, and can be seen swooping or stooping from there. I've never seen them go as far down as the field surface, though. That would have been great to see! Marty Wolf Colo. Spgs.

In the 8th inning of yesterday's Rockies game there was apparenty an event in the outfield where a hawk came down and scooped something up in front of 40 K fans. I was in the car listening to the radio and there was a gasp ouy of the crowd. The radio announcer just said a hawk caught a bird or a rodent... anyone at the game or know what happened???
