Re: [cobirds] Hawks Galore in Wetmore (Custer)

Rich (and Dave), I too have witnessed what would seem to be the same phenomenon maybe 3-4 years ago. I was driving in the same general area near Wetmore (possibly Waterbarrel Road, possibly Siloam Road, I just don't remember) when I noticed (audibly at first) that the road was literally covered

Folks, Just a friendly reminder that in order to have a chance at becoming a state record, a sighting would first need to be submitted to the CO Bird Records Committee for consideration. I can't speak for the other committee members, but I can say that I would certainly like to see this sighting
