CRESTED CARACARA at First Creek Den Open Space, now

[Joe Roller]

John Britisch found a CRESTED CARACARA in Denver County less than an hour ago. (Fri AM, August 25)

It is perched and moves short distances when harassed by the resident Red-tailed Hawk,

but easy to find in the First Creek riparian. 

Drive toward Denver Int Airport, on Pena Blvd, exit at 56th avenue and go west about a quarter of a mile to the parking area 

on north side of 56th. Sign for First Creek Den One Space there.  It is also easy to find on 

the eBird hotspot map.

Walk north on the path and watch for birders watching the raptor.
