I spent some time in the Plum Creek area at Chatfield, near the picnic tables, and couldn't find the scissor tailed flycatcher.
I did enjoy watching a pair of Cooper's hawks . I first saw the male Coopers hawk with a bird ( house finch?) in its talons. He was calling incessantly, which is how I found him. A female Coopershawk then flew in and either took or was given the prey.
She seemed to study the gift for some time and, after a few minutes, the male Cooper's hawk came back and mated with her while she stood on the prey.
I'm not sure if this would qualify for a dinner date…
