Saturday was slow in terms of raptor migrants at Dinosaur Ridge, only two birds observed that we could call migrants, one a very nice Prairie Falcon that passed by at eye level. We did get to see lots of local Red-tailed Hawks, Golden Eagles (undulating display flight high above the ridge), and a Northern Goshawk soaring between the ridge and Red Rocks.
A nice group of nine male Mountain Bluebirds settled for a few moments on the ridge south of the watch, some Bushtits wandered by, and Western Scrub-Jays appeared throughout the day.
