Mile High Stadium and the storm

[Karl Stecher Jr.]

I have been watching birds from Mile High Stadium since 1973.  Yesterday, added a few to my list.

Entering the stadium I saw 4 pigeons.  Not auspicious.

My daughter and three grandchildren sat in the west stands on the 50 yard line.  This made any viewing to the west impossible.

No birds.

Late in the game, a "biting" north wind came through (at 50 degrees?)  Just in front of a new small bank of clouds...two circling red tailed hawks, then two ravens, two Cooper's hawks, then a kestrel .  Then clouds and tiny raindrops of what I believe had been melted snow.
