Folks, On my way home from Wray today, I saw a young Red-shouldered Hawk soaring over Bonny Reservoir. I almost blew it off, thinking it was a Red-tail, but was glad I didn't. The distinctive pale 'crescents', reddish tail above with many bars below, and broad wings bowed while gliding tipped me off. It was heading SE.
Bonny was otherwise pretty much dead landbird-wise, and even fuller than this spring with very little shorebird habitat. Oh, and just a few hours after commenting on my futile search for Mississippi Kites in Wray, I had 4 fly overhead at Stalker Pond today. -- Daniel Maynard Manitou Springs, CO -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
