[cobirds] Laplands and Eagles/Nunn

On my way in to work today along Weld CR (WCR) 100--between WCR 23 and 27 on north--our beautiful local adult Bald Eagle (http://coloradobirder.ning.com/photo/photo/listForContributor?screenName=lefkogt) eating a rabbit on the ground right next to road before taking to the lone tree on north to perch.  The Bald has been in the area all winter--seen in our driveway (pole), field (post), down the road .5m in dry creek bed, etc.

Golden Eagle along WCR 27 nearby.  Local Great Horned Owl on nest, too, they beat the Red-taileds this year--this nest shared 2012-13 Red-taileds, 2010-2011 Great Horneds.  The Golden Eagle nest at Wellington SWA is also active again.

Also, numerous (6-8?) Lapland Longspurs flew calling over head (as usual for here)--this area good for Laplands--WCR 100 x WCR 23 x WCR 102 x WCR 27 ("Raptor Alley")

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
