Since Judy had to go and post some of my lousier photos of the injured peregrine, albeit on her site, I thought I would show you the other bird that was...
Hey, don't go picking on my ratty friends! This one has . . . well, character. Personality. Special feather arrangments. Now, Cleve, to be fair, post those two...
Not only does he look ratty, he looks positively mad (as in crazy)on #8! I have to say this bird looks more like "Pigpen" than our bird did, and I can...
Yup! That's the same bird, on the same mast, that we saw Thursday and Friday night of last week. The other peregrine was quite a bit farther away from us,...
Spent the morning in the Morro Bay Marina - - only place on the coast that wasn't windy and cold. A merlin landed in the same tree normally occupied by the...
Now that's a healthy-looking bird! While Cleve was taking these photos I was out on the beach on a survey...no kestrels, but we caught and banded a new...
Nice looking young bird you caught on 12/30, Dianna. Looks like it would have bitten you too. Thank you for doing the dangerous work. Worst I can expect are...
I got my first good look at one Thursday morning. This is my favorite bird now. They are just so perfect! The one I saw made a lot of chirp, chirp, chirp...
Now this kite is spectacular; looks like it had just been to the beauty shop with such lovely feather colors. Thank you for sharing this glorious beauty!...
Good to know we have another kite fan in the group, Laurie. I worry that I may be drummed out for posting too many kite photos. When I first heard the sweet,...
I would like to hear their calls...but I don't think I have so far. The pair in Granada Hills, Ca. never made a noise that I could tell...of course that was...
Just after sunset this evening I was watching our extra-scruffy peregrine at the marina. Cleve has named him "Dylan," after Bob Dylan in his later years. Dylan...
... Hi Judy and all, Why yes, sort of, although not quite in the scenario you're describing. This year there were two nests in the San Francisco bay area in...
Hi All, I am a Bay Area resident (Orinda) who got interested in raptors after a Red-Shouldered hawk landed in a tree directly in front of me. I was struck by...
Welcome, Dave. We don't see too many Red-shouldered Hawks up here in SW Washington, but when we do it is a treat! I think they are expanding their territory...
Dear All, On a world scale Nepal lies 27th in the richness scale on floral diversity. With just over 0.1% of the earths land surface occurring in Nepal, it...
On the news tonight was a story about the power being out in a portion of Juneau, Alaska, the result of a Bald Eagle knocking a transmission cable with a deer...
Yes.....I have witnessed it here..13 bald eagles fighting over a winter killed deer carcass and one dragged the skull off another carried what appeared to be a...
Well, not usually. I would think it would be too heavy for them. But it was in the Juneau newspaper, so what do I know? I'll see if I can find out the normal...
Dianna, In my experience as a falconer, I find that most hawks can fly with a food item up to half of the weight of the hawk in question, and sometimes they ...
This is the article in the Juneau Times: Eagle causes power outage About 10,000 Juneau residents lost power Sunday after a bald eagle lugging a deer head...
That's what I had heard too...about 9 pounds is the limit for a bald eagle. It's just so darn hard to determine where the "facts" are in that newspaper...
This morning around 9:00, Elvis suddenly flew from the diving board and, making a lot of noise, dived at a hawk that had come near the Rock. In one swift blow,...
Judy, I am a falconer, so you know I love each and every raptor I ever see, but I think it is wrong and "not our place" to interfere. This is a case of natural...
