...throwing shadows on our eyes... (I nod to Neil Young) On Mar 20 a few first-of-season big birds passed my way. In Arapahoe an *Osprey* was hunting for a long time in the area of Bufflehead and Cooley lakes at South Platte Park, with 6 *Am. White Pelicans* going over, and a *Turkey Vulture* and some heard-only *Sandhill Cranes *passed over the vicinity of So. Prince Street in Littleton.
Over in Jefferson, more *Sandhill Cranes* passed over the hogbacks near Deer Creek, and 3 *White-throated Swifts* appeared briefly over their usual nesting cliff on the Lyons hogback overlooking Deer Creek. I noticed that their favored nesting and roosting crack has recently partially fallen apart in a rock slide. I still need to compare with my pictures of the crack from last year, but I think it is substantially changed and sheltered areas the swifts used inside the rock face in that spot are now exposed.
