Even in the wind this morning, birders were able to see the Crested Caracara in Pueblo County. Since I am guessing there will be quite a few more people coming to look for it tomorrow (the weather looks good, low wind) and Sunday, here are some possible ideas on how to see it.
The furthest east I think it has been seen, is at 38.195710, -104.911803 on power poles
The location by the cows, where it hangs out on the ground, especially mid-day and the afternoon is at 38.189252, -104.942888 (south side of road, often hiding behind the junipers/cedars, so have to just wait around)
The furthest west I think it has been seen is at 38.188032, -104.946387 on power pole
Yesterday morning, a few sightings were from the north side of the road, at a deer carcass 38.190848, -104.919025
This morning, a few sightings, from further east of the deer carcass at 38.194128437869445, -104.91554094678463
It seems like the morning hours, it is roaming to the east portion of these locations, and then heads back west to where the cows are. Check power poles, on top of junipers/cedars, and on the ground (if at the deer carcass or by the cows)
Hopefully this is helpful, for people trying to see the bird. The cell reception is spotty out there, so it can be hard to get the word out on where it is. If you are driving the road slowly, watch for fast moving trucks behind you. The landowners with the cows are very nice.
Some people are seeing Greater Roadrunners along Red Creek Springs Road West as well.
Good luck,
