Highlights of Feb 25 Birding near Mestaa’ehehe Pass

Highlights of the Jan 27 Raptor Outing

One of our first stops was at a new access point to the north side of the Rocky Mountain Arsenal at Chambers and 96th Ave.  The highlight here was getting to see four Northern Harriers swooping down and around a juvenile Bald Eagle, which was on the ground surrounded by prairie dogs.
