Hi all

Beautiful day for raptoring Saturday! I took the Colorado State University Field Ornithologists Club on their 4th Annual Raptor Alley trip (along with some other birders)--probably had two dozen total. Photos-http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org/albums/view/30/raptor-alley-nunn.

We had all of the raptor expected species (9) and an average # of birds (31):
  • Bald Eagle - 2
  • Ferruginous Hawk - 7
  • Red-tailed Hawk - 6
  • Merlin - 1
  • Northern Harrier - 3
  • Prairie Falcon - 1
  • American Kestrel - 3
  • Rough-legged Hawk - 2
  • Unknown buteo - 3
  • Unknown falcon - 1
  • Golden Eagle - 2
  • Pronghorn, Jackrabbit and Coyote
Sunday, Cozzens Lake [Eaton] was one of my stops and my Wild Turkey "friends" appeared--38 of them (first 8 photos, http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org/albums/view/11/cozzens-lake-eaton)!

We had a Red-bellied Woodpecker on the Sterling CBC a month ago, here is photo: http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org/albums/photos/view/67/594/red-bellied-woodpecker
