So, I birded India, land of Indian Peafowl , Saag Paneer (my favorite Indian dish) and Tigers. Well, they were all memorable, but these two involve subjects people have asked about without fail—the Taj Mahal and Tigers. Luckily, I didn’t have to look hard to find the Dusky Eagle-Owl’s nest. Target: Tigers.

Many are familiar with dissecting owl pellets, but several birds will caste a pellet including hawks, eagles, gulls, herons and heck, I once witnessed a Scissor-tailed Flycatcher hack up a small one. For example, since eagles and hawks tend to rip their prey apart and have stronger digestive acids, their pellets look like wads of fur.

And we did , for the Peregrine Falcon and Osprey , the Brown Pelican and Bald Eagle. Everything was going to be extinct – the condors, the whales, the Whooping Cranes , the elephants and tigers, the whole shebang, and that was even if we didn’t get nuked. We could do it! Then the 80s happened. Good times, I tell you what.

I also often observe a pair of Wedge-tailed Eagles towards the hills on my left as I follow this section of trail. Tiger Snake. There is a water trough for the dairy cows, but sometimes the Pacific Black Ducks take advantage of the trough! As the weather warmed up the snakes became a lot more active.
