I also glimpsed a large bright red object, which I almost dismissed as a lost jacket - except for those ravens.Doubling back I saw an adult Golden Eagle lift from the fresh, mostly-eaten carcass of a deer. The eagle settled into the grass about 50 yards away and observed me observing itself for about 10 minutes before giving up and heading east. A lone Turkey Vulture seemed content to circle high and let things season a bit. All of this is in San Mateo County by a few yards, of course, but many of these birds are surely SC county regulars, if not residents ;) --Garth Harwood _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
