Hi all I led the Colorado State University Field Ornithology group out on our annual Raptor Alley trip together on Saturday. ZERO wind again-three weekends in a row now! Hoping for a 4th weekend of no wind with Cheyenne Audubon group this Saturday. ;-)
Total of 48 raptors for our Saturday efforts: - Northern Harrier - 5 - Ferruginous Hawk - 10 (includes a group of five on the ground positioning themselves over a Prairie Dog kill ... cool! ... including the local dark morph) - Bald Eagle - 9 (including all of us bearing witness to one of our local pair "doing the hokey-pokey") :-) - Red-tailed Hawk - 8 - Rough-legged Hawk - 6 (including local dark morph) - American Kestrel - 7 - Prairie Falcon - 2 Some of us got to hear Lapland Longspur flyover treat.
