The Common Black-Hawk was still at Fountain Creek Nature Center this morning. When I arrived at 6:25am, it was sitting in a tree near the NE corner of the parking area, in a fairly obscured location. Around 7:00am, a pair of dive-bombing American Robins became too much to bear, and the hawk flew off to the north. Luckily, John Drummond was able to track its flight well enough that he relocated it after a short time, in a location quite close over our heads, in plain view. After great looks and many camera shots, the hawk flew back to the south toward the Nature Center again, although I had to leave for work and didn't see the bird again.
Awesome bird! Thanks to whoever found it, and to Lisa for getting the word out yesterday.
