[cobirds] Osprey courtship at Heritage Golf Course, Westminster

On the way home from a Denver Field Ornithologists field trip, I stopped at the Heritage Golf Course Heronry. In addition to 3 Great Blue Herons on nests, there was a pair of Osprey. While I watched, they launched into what appeared to be a high flying courtship flight.
