I see eagles at the lake and at home regularly...being by water puts them in the flight path. Hawks at the lake once in a while, hawk at home comes by occasionally, after the doves mysteriously (not so) disappear he goes away too...then new ones move in...a month later...
Eagle at the lake this past weekend was right over me as I sat on the dock...did that death-spiral thing and kept getting lower, was eyeballing something in the water...it must have gone deeper cause he leveled off at the last second and flew low over the water to the west shore...
Have owls in the back...big ones...Horned/Northern...I forget which...rarely catch them in flight...I like 'em though, nice call and they are the stealth fighters of raptor's...
We get some cranes and such too...the new family of mallards has their young in the air...future dinner for hunters this fall...
Saw two gulls! Not a good sign...usually don't see them till mid-August...that and fog int he area seem to indicate cool weather returning a month earlier than normal!
