Hi CoBirders

I observed the Cooper's Hawk nest with an adult and a fledgling at Osceola St. and 64th Ave. in Denver tonight at about 7 pm.The young bird was moving up and down in the nest. Tom and Laurie Simmons were there. they have been watching Cooper's nesting near this location for about six years, I've watched for four years or so. We also went to Berkeley Lake Park where two male Ruddy Ducks were near the north shore. Ruddys are becoming my nemesis bird as they show up at Berkeley and Rocky Mtn. Lake parks, and at Jim Baker Res., but not at Lowell Ponds SWA.
