Santa Ana Valley Rd., Hollister
This was the target bird for today, and we found many. Some lighter morph and at least one dark morph. We had seen just one a few years ago but I never had a chance to photograph one before. Not really the best day for light, but the raptor heaven that Debi Shearwater had announced in her blog this week was completely there. Within a very small patch of Santa Ana Valley Rd we found 2 bald eagle adults, more golden eagles that we could count, loads of redtails and kestrels everywhere, many ferruginous hawks, a few kites, and a bonus lifer - the prairie falcon.
Anyone with some big glass should get down there on the next sunny day available!
