While waiting for some wonderful children in the environmental group Earth Guardians to testify at the EPA hearings on coal fly ash yesterday at the Hyatt Hotel (17th & Welton,) a Kestrel flew up against the window a few times and appeared to land on the ledge on what would be the southeast facing side, on the 38th floor. There is an indented ledge on that floor that goes all around the building; tyhe rest of the building is flat-walled. It was about 6:30 PM and it did not fly out again, so maybe it was roosting there. I had just read an article about Kestrels nesting in south facing cornices on old buildings in east coast cities, so it was interesting. I have seen Peregrines a number of times in downtown Denver, and Kestrels in parks or trees in downtown, but this is the first time I have seen one on one of the skyscrapers. -Elena Klaver, Niwot
