This morning, I walked some of that area where the caracara was reportedly seen, but was extremely skeptical of the report, considering that there are regular sightings of ospreys and immature and mature bald eagles in that area. As I was walking out, though, I saw a bird soaring very high, and put my binoculars on it. Unfortunately, I was unable to make a determination of what king of bird that was, but it looked somewhat similar to the caracaras I saw a few years ago in Florida. The view was about 45 degrees from the sun and I was unable to see light and dark areas. I tried my camera, but could not get the telephoto to pick it up, and then the bird disappeared in the sky. It was about straight up from 71st Avenue and right over the Poudre River
-- I would enjoy hearing from others who have or are searching the area. I may go back tomorrow for another look.
