[cobirds] Re: Broad-winged Hawk, Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County

Birders, I too, saw a Broad-winged Hawk this morning but at Grandview Cemetery in Fort Collins. It was riding the wind as it blew through the cemetery and continued on down Mountain Ave. At the speed it was moving it could have been the same one Ted saw, who knows?

Hello, Birders. I just now saw a broad-winged hawk migrating through the cloudy skies above Greenlee Preserve, Boulder County. The bird wasn't showing any signs of putting down, and I imagine it's in Longmont by now. That said, it seems to me that broad-wings come through the Front Range metro region in pulses, so it might be a good idea to be on the lookout for others this afternoon. Winds are out of the southeast, and that's probably good, all things considered.

Also at Greenlee today: Swainson hawk building a nest, solitary sandpiper, and numerous Audubon and Myrtle warblers, including 2 hybrids. Regulars there of late have been black-crowned night-herons, bushtits, spotted towhees, American white pelicans, and Say phoebes.
