Brenda and I visited Antero, Spinney Mountain, and Eleven Mile Reservoirs yesterday. The lakes contained a number of ducks and (mostly) American Coots. Numbers are definitely not high as yet.
Basic Common Loon was seen on Eleven Mile. Dark morph Ferruginous Hawk was along Hwy 24 just east of Antero. First of Season Rough-legged Hawk was also along Hwy 24 east of Antero. Numbers should peak around early November for several weeks. Joey Kellner Littleton, CO PS - Even though it was over a week since the Crested Caracara was last seen at the Chalk Cliffs Fish Hatchery, we tried anyway with no success. Spent some time talking with the hatchery manager and found out that the Caracara was feeding on dead fish side by side with Common Ravens. Interesting. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
