Golden Eagle, Hawk, and Falcon Spotted on Colorado Hike

Wow. Just got back from a 2.5 mile hike with some spectacular wildlife sightings. As we came along a ridge, we could see a golden eagle circling, circling, circling–looking for a meal for himself or his fledglings. A little further down the ridge, a successful falcon parent returned to the nest to the cries of its hungry fledglings. He’d had hunting success and stayed on the nest long enough to feed his young, when his mate returned for her turn to feed them. We also spied a hawk working out in the prairie trying to make his daily bread.

What a beautiful opportunity we have in Colorado to enjoy the beauty of the landscape–and of the wildlife.

I hope you’ll help us take action to protect it by visiting the CARD site. There is an action request there that needs your attention.

Enjoy the beautiful day!
