Wednesday about noon, while walking the Sand Creek Trail, I heard some loud cries coming from a area of mature oaks opposite the trail on the other side of Sand Creek. Finally I saw a hawk with a bird in it's talons, on a horizontal limb. I could hear another hawk calling/screaming/crying in the same vicinity. Caught glimpses of them cruising through the woods in PAIRS! One flew to a slender branch alongside the creek approximately 20-25 feet away at eye level. AMAZING! We checked each other out for 2,3 minutes. I think they are Juvenile Cooper's Hawks. Beautiful brown on the head and back. White, white breast with strong brown streaking. Looked absolutely huge through my bins. I spent about an hour there listening and catching glimpses of them through the trees. When i got home, I listened to Peterson's Eastern Bird Songs, and these hawks sounded just like the Northern Goshawks. ??????????? The Sand Creek Trail segment was located: just west of Olive Street. and 121st. The closest cul-de-sac being 120th Avenue NW, off Sycamore.
