Great day for raptoring in north Weld County. Boulder County Audubon joined us at Nunn Cafe to bring group total to "somewhere" between 20-30 (didn't get "official" headcount). Nunn Cafe served up a dozen or so raptor enthusiasts and we headed out 0830 returning 1400.
We saw a total of 80 raptors (some various colors) today: American Kestrel - 15 Northern Harrier - 10 Ferruginous Hawk - 11 (including one gulping a mouse; and one eating entrails across from Nunn Cafe using his wings to deter others-very cool!) Rough-legged Hawk - 16 Unknown buteo - 8 Red-tailed Hawk - 8 Prairie Falcon - 1 Golden Eagle - 4 (including territorial display) Bald Eagle - 2 Long-eared Owl - 4-5+ Lots of fun and great hospitality at the Nunn Cafe. Thanks for tag- teaming with us Boulder County Audubon!
