The Peregrine came first, stood around for a while and left. The Golden Eagle arrived 15 minutes later, screamed at two adjacent Ravens and then made a pass at a nearby gull -- almost caught it. At the CCRS ponds we found the biggest Sharp-shinned hawk I've ever seen. It was sitting in a low bush 20 feet away so we could see the large belly and breast bands, not streaking, and the fuzzy white eye-stripe. Definitely the markings of a Sharpie, but it was the size of a Coopers. Must have been that we were so close. Altogether a great day for biding. We saw 96 species just roaming nearby Santa Clara County. Palo Alto's golf course pond had 5 Hooded Mergansers. Dick Carlson Richard C.
