There were a few hikers and bike riders on the trail but none visited observation. Weather: Good weather in the morning gave way to clouds and precipitation. Persistent drizzle and lowering cloud level ended the count early. Raptor Observations: All the raptors I counted were above the ridge and at eye level. Binoculars were not needed for most. Non-raptor Observations: I saw a few of the usual passerines on the ridge, but there was low activity. Predictions: The wet weather may continue into tomorrow. ======================================================================== Report submitted by DAVID HILL () Dinosaur Ridge - Denver Field Ornithologists information may be found at: http://www.dfobirds.org More site information at hawkcount.org: https://hawkcount.org/siteinfo.php?rsite=123 -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Colorado Birds" group.
