Broad winged Hawk, Loggerhead Shrike in vicinity of Rabbit Mt., Boulder County

[Carl Starace]

  Just before 9 am today I watched a Broad winged Hawk pass over Rabbit Mt. I later walked  the road closer to the wastewater pond,[ to the south], and had a nice Logger Head Shrike perched on a short metal post and 2 singing Vesper Sparrow. Earlier, an Orange Crowned Warbler made a brief stop in our Crabapple Tree in Niwot.  Good Almost May Birding All,        Carl Starace
