Yesterday in Denver, Colorado, USA was absolutely gorgeous with temperatures nearly 20 degrees above normal. The raptors seemed to be enjoying the warm weather as well as there was a lot of activity everywhere I went. This Ferruginous Hawk was camped out on a utility pole soon after the sun popped over the horizon and sat calmly, drinking in the warmth.
