Hi all

For those hoping to see a Rough-legged Hawk on our Raptor Alley trip ... "we did" ... :-) ... closer inspection of photos (below) shows one that we saw along Weld CR 98 early on in trip.  This was the bird atop telephone pole that flew off to south as we approached closer (two poles away still) to get better look.


Thank you all for coming!
