Rendezvous with Raptors
Rick Harness
Eagles highlighted the morning with 14 in one location at Woods Lake in
Weld County. We watched 2 eagles successfully catch fish, only to be
pursued by other hungry birds. We also saw the following species: Prairie
Falcon, American Kestrel, Ferruginous Hawk, Red-tailed Hawk, Rough-legged
Hawk, and a dead Great Horned Owl. We had 25 people on the trip, so
traffic management was a challenge. Leader: Rick Harness.
