[cobirds] Boulder Raptors feeding near Teller Lake

COBirders,
On my way to Teller Lake, I noticed a Golden Eagle and 4 Red-tailed Hawks feeding on something big - presumably a deer. There were another 4-5 Red-tails perched in trees not far from the site, and a passerby said he had two Bald Eagles in the area earlier.

The carcass is on the North side of Valmont about 100 yards from the road unfortunately - in the last dogleg before the road straightens as you approach the Teller Lake parking area. Of note was a beautiful Dark Morph RTHA.

As Christian Nunes reported, the Harris's & Golden-crowned Sparrows were present feeding along the path just west of the Teller Lake parking area - mixed with a group of White-crowned Sparrows. I've posted photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pgburke/

Good birding,
Peter Burke
