Subject: [cobirds] Crested Caracara update March 14th
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,
