When dead birds are found, it's best to freeze them in a bag, after recording details of place, date, etc. Then notify the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. They'll do a detailed necropsy, check for all kinds of things - parasites, etc. Then contact Jeff Stephensons, collections manager at 303

[cobirds] Swainson's Hawk Kettle - Arapahoe

I've never seen more than a family of Swainson's Hawks at a time, so I was surprised to encounter a dozen+ Swainson's Hawks over Holly Park in Centennial (Arapahoe County) this morning. From a distance, I took them for Turkey Vultures, the only raptors I see riding thermals in flocks locally.

Appears to be a Swainson's Thrush, which belongs to the same family as Robins here in America do. The other one of these that you will run into more commonly is the Hermit Thrush which can be distinguished from Swainson's by its rust-colored tail. Hope that is helpful! Happy birding,
