Yes; in my experience they are nesting here in Littleton. They built a nest
in a ponderosa, at least 15-20 feet off the ground in a neighbor’s
backyard. At least one baby fell out and later died. Another that was
definitively older was also found out of the nest, but it had more mature
feathers and open eyes. I suspect it came from a different nest, as I saw
at least 3 adults when I was attempting to help the other baby.
