This evening I was hiking at the mouth of Sunshine Canyon in Boulder when I heard the whistled "Pee-tee" call of a Broad-winged Hawk. After looking a bit I saw a juvenile Broad-wing perched in a stand of narrowleaf cottonwoods. The unseen adult was calling from somewhere else in the stand. Broad-winged Hawks breed in small numbers on the Front Range but it's always exciting to run into a family group.
This was only about 100 yards up Sunshine Canyon Road from the Mt. Sanitas Trailhead.
