Hi birders, Corresponding to this species continental latitudinal peak or slightly past, Broad-winged Hawk migration is in full swing and I observed one yesterday during a mini raptor migration watch at Bald Mtn Open Space, and another one (juv.) this morning in SW Longmont.
At Bald Mtn, here are the results of a mini six hour raptor migration watch: Turkey Vulture, 10 Osprey, 1 adl f Northern Harrier, 1 adl f Sharp-shinned Hawk, 1 juv. Cooper's Hawk, 4 adl, 2 juv. (2 "locals") Broad-winged Hawk, 1 adl Red-tailed Hawk, 6 adl, 1 juv. (5 "locals") American Kestrel, 3 f, 2 m Bald Mountain was right at the eastern edge of the Four Mile Canyon burn zone, and many Western Bluebirds were foraging directly in the burned ground below the pines. What were they eating? Bald Mountain Scenic Area is located 5 miles west of Boulder on the south side of Sunshine Canyon Drive (County Road 52). Good migration, -- Scott Scott Severs Longmont, CO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/co_odes/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
