A massive shadow caught our eye on the opposite end, by the time we whispered “ Black Hawk-Eagle ” to each other it already was in view almost overhead. It glared at something in the leaf litter (is there any other way raptors look at anything?) Definitely a hawk-eagle, but which? Believe me, we tried!

Rufous Treecreeper feeding among the leaf litter. At the top of Devil’s Slide we had a close encounter with a pair of Peregrine Falcons and there were also a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles soaring over the National Park.

1) Dusky Eagle-Owl. There’s a lot of good birding to be done at the Taj Mahal: Rose-Ringed Parakeets and Red-vented Bulbuls on the grounds; Painted Storks and Pied Avocets along the Yumana River, seen from the Taj terrace; Booted Eagles and Black Kites flying overhead. 2) Plum-headed Parakeet. 4) Small Pratincole.

A marsh littered with garbage will still provide refuge for a bittern, considering in many places most wetlands simply don’t exist any more. This area was packed with birds, with more Golden Eagles than I’ve seen anywhere else at sea level. I think you get my point. Pacific Commons Park, Fremont, CA.

For example, the leaf litter didn’t look as dry as other places, and I noticed a fair number of frogs, insects, and small lizards in the understory. Although raptors seem scarce at Hitoy, I wouldn’t be surprised if Harpy Eagle lurks in the reserve, especially the remote interior sectors where no one treads.

Little Black is in a large dog kennel, curled up in her litter box, going nowhere near her tasty, stinky canned food, and she will be returned tomorrow. As for the eagle's nest, I think all of the people who surround the nest each morning are mistaken. I'm still not satisfied with the photo of her, and I might try again.
