Highlights today at Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins: Golden Eagle (2, soaring north together) Broad-winged Hawk (high flyover, FOY) Merlin (prairie female, perched atop the State Champion Thornless Honeylocust, perhaps the same winter bird from the neighborhood, maybe a migrant) Double-crested Cormorant (seen on Sheldon Lake at City Park from the southeast corner of the cemetery) Great Horned Owls* (continue to receive adorassment, have only seen 2 nestlings lately, after seeing 3 a week ago, did the runt get eaten?) American Goldfinch (major increase of late in response to the early American Elm seed crop this spring)
Dark-eyed Juncos (gone up the hill) Brown Creepers (gone up the hill) no kinglets yet no swallows overhead *BNA confirms the rapid growth of nestling GHOs. From their birth weight to the age of 25 days, they increase by a factor of 28! Good grief!
