Hawk Watch

December 01, 2015

Late this afternoon I was at Lake Lansing with Bruce Cohen watching the evening gulls fly in for the night hoping to find something rare. Our gull watch was suddenly interrupted when an immature Bald Eagle flew over the lake scattering the gulls. We were quite disappointed to see the gulls settle down much further out in the lake making it harder to see them through the scope. But our disappointment changed to excitement when this Merlin flew in with a House Sparrow in it's talons and landed in the Cottonwood Tree just above us. Needless to say our gull watch quickly turned into a hawk watch or should I say watching a hawk eat dinner.
