[cobirds] Last Raptor Alley of Season Trip Results [Raptor Alley, Nunn, Weld]

Hi all

GREAT weather for raptoring on Saturday--sun, cold and no wind.  Group had a fantastic outing seeing all expected birds.  Also, we found Golden Eagle on nest as well as a (new) Bald Eagle nest in Nunn!  The Bald Eagle nest in Nunn was previously attempted last two years but never had an eagle actually on/in the nest.  I'll be watching this one closely.
