Canon City Riverwalk 11-4-05

Though the winds gusted some today, it was not as windy as yesterday. Nevertheless, many small birds remained down where they were protected.

On my way back down the Canon City Riverwalk I saw 3 Cooper's Hawks flying near the close to 1 mile of trail I traversed. Although it is not uncommon to see 1 Cooper's Hawk along this section from MacKenzie Ave to the Ash Street hill, I have never seen that many of this species in that section in one trip. I also saw 2 Red-tailed Hawks along the same section so today was clearly a raptor day there.
