Yeah!!! Thanks for the heads up Chriisty! I'll add the ones I have and will include raptors in the future - that is, if I spot anymore :) Many thanks again!
Lorelei, Project Noah has recently increased the boundaries of the mission "Raptors of Colorado" to include all of North America, and is now called (drumroll please!) "Raptors of North America". I would love it if you would consider adding this and any other raptor spottings (birds of prey) to the following: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8627...
Thank you!
