Thank you for sharing, Debbie! It is especially exciting when they appear unexpectedly.
The Birds
Great photos Debbie. I saw a pigeon out fly a small hawk or falcon chasing it. I was panning for gold in Piru Creek and saw a California Condor from a few miles distant, it was so large. I saw a bald eagle near Otay Lake and a large owl perched on the railing on the patio outside the lunch room .
