Highlights of a big loop around these two contiguous Natural Areas east of the
Poudre River south of Prospect in Fort Collins (Larimer) today (3/18/15):
Merlin (1 prairie race female)
Cinnamon Teal (3m, 2f)
Green-winged Teal (13)
Virginia Rail (heard at least 5)
Marsh Wren (heard at least 2)
Sandhill Crane (flyover by flock of 42)

Coolest thing was seeing a male kestrel eating a vole atop the Cottonwood
Hollow Natural Area sign along Prospect (of course, my camera was in the car)
