This afternoon (Friday, 4/19) while loading up my car, I spotted an adult broad-winged hawk circling over our facility, which is just across the interstate from Barr Lake State Park. To make a long story short, there were actually THREE raptors all up in the air at once: small, medium and large. Small was the broad-winged hawk, medium was an adult red-tailed hawk, and large was a second year bald eagle which likely cruised over from Barr Lake.
If any folks are planning to bird Barr Lake tomorrow, feel free to stop by the Raptor Education Foundation facility between 11AM and 2PM. We're having an Open House and our birds will be available for public viewing. Admission is free and light refreshments will be served. We're just west of I-76 on 136th Ave, at Exit 20. Look for the red balloons. --Anne Price Curator of Raptors, Raptor Education Foundation Brighton, Adams County -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
