Rough Legged Hawk, Neva Rd., Allenspark Birds, Boulder County

[Carl Starace]

Hi All,      On the way to Allenspark to look for Rosy Finches/ Crossbills  we observed a low flying Rough legged Hawk crossing  Neva Rd.,[ western extension of Niwot Rd.] and landing on a post. Arriving at Allenspark at 10:30, we soon had flocks of both Evening Grosbeak,[16], and Pine Grosbeak,[7], as well as 3 Brown capped Rosy Finches.  Good December Birding,        Carl Starace and Sally Swain       Niwot
