[SBB] HMB raptor feast (video)

[manny vara <[[email protected]]>]

I went to Half Moon Bay this past Saturday following the postings about the vole feast going on. I was hoping to get some video footage of the raptors up close.  The birds were very cooperative from the moment I arrived (about 11:30 am).  I could see as many as 11 WHITE-TAILED KITES in my field of view at once. There were also at least 5 NORTHERN HARRIERS, a few RED-TAILED HAWKS and a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK.

I was able to get some nice closeups of the birds hovering and hunting. I did manage to record a KITE diving on a vole and then coming back up with it. It ate it in a couple of minutes and went back for more. It was a great feast indeed.

The video is here:

Happy birding.
