[cobirds] Another Broad-winged Hawk, 1 Peregrine, Northern Boulder County

Hi all,

I birded this this morning and then early in the afternoon.  This morning there were still many McCown's Longspurs, Vesper, Lark, White-crowned and Chipping Sparrows along 59th and Hygiene Roads.  I watched a Sharp-shinned Hawk dive on the road side birds.  The resident Bald Eagle was present, as was one Swainson's, one male Northern Harrier, four Red-tailed, one Loggerhead Shrike and about a dozen Turkey Vultures.

I stopped at the west end of Clover Basin Reservoir, unfortunately without my scope.  There is a large assortment of shore birds, and one looked big enough to be a Long-billed Curlew.  Out of the west, a Peregrine dived on the assembly, then kept going east.

About 3 p.m., I was coming back from Longmont and as N. 65th is closed, decided to take the very muddy N. 51st.  About 1/2 mile north of Nelson, there was a Broad-winged Hawk.  Definitely a different bird than I reported earlier in the week, as it was more heavily patterned on the chest.

Cheers,

Pam Piombino
