Common Black Hawk, Teller, YES

The bird continues at the same location. It was at the spillway when I arrived, flushed about 20 minutes later and flew to the north east corner of Manitou lake for about five minutes, and then flew back to the creek a bit down stream of the spillway where it currently is now.

It indeed was a nice day for my wife and I to see a new State bird. When we got there about 10:45, it was sitting on a beaver dam feeding on what appeared to be a few remains of snake.

There were a number of other bird species of interest to us including lots of Wilson’s Warblers, a few Orange-crowned Warblers, a Brown Thrasher, two Red-naped , and several species of sparrows. Great day.

Has anyone been to Manitou Lake today?  This is my first free afternoon to go down and look for the black hawk.  I'm hopeful it's still there but any negative reports could help save me from a nice long Tuesday afternoon drive :)

It was still there, 50 meters below the dam spillway at 12:15 pm today, Tuesday, September 15. Initially perched on a Ponderosa Pine next to the stream, then went hunting.

The common black hawk is still present at lake Manitou outside of Woodland Park as of 5:30 pm today (Thursday).  I refound it again on the top of the beaver dam just downstream from the spillway where it had been seen often before.  I watched it eat a crayfish in the way everyone has been describing.  What a beautiful hawk!  It was still there when I left at 5:45.
