Common Black Hawk still being seen in Canon City

The Common Black Hawk has been seen at least once each day for past 7 days near the MacKenzie Ave bridge over the Arkansas River. Close to 20 birders from as far away as Ft Collins and Glenwood Springs, Co have driven to Canon City to look for this state rairity (and I learned there are only about 250 breeding pairs of Common Black Hawk in the United States, so it is not a common hawk in this country).

There have been 2 Black Phoebes foraging daily near the MacKenzie Ave bridge. Several Spotted Sandpipers, a Belted Kingfisher and a number of Mallards have been seen along the river nearby. Cooper's Hawks, a Peregrine Falcon, a dark phase Swainson's Hawk, several Red-tailed Hawks and Turkey Vultures have been sighted flying in the area of this bridge by those looking for the Common Black Hawk.

And last night I saw a flock of about 10 Common Nighthawks flying in the vicinity, presumably feeding as they migrate south.
