Last Tuesday I got to see this hawk in Westminster leaving work to head to Boulder for an appointment. I was thrilled when I found this thread. Sounds like this hawk could be quite old now, the one I saw was clearly white, with some slight buffy colors which made me wonder at first if it was one of the owls I have seen in the area (but this was still the middle of the day). But after looking at the shape, knowing it was a hawk. Do you think there could be off-spring off this hawk? It was sitting on the light pole across front the rec center on Sherridan right before 104th.
