Two eagle encounters in the last 3 weeks. Driving east on a local road here in the burbs I stopped for a red light and saw one circle overhead and disappear behind the palms on the median. I started up and suddenly the bird was coming straight at me, talons down, getting read to snatch some road kill. He decided not to chance it with my truck and was gone in the blink of an eye.
Hiking along a canal Sunday morning I saw a big one in a tree across the water. Got some good pix of it perched but as soon as I lowered my camera it took off after a red shouldered hawk that was tearing down the canal.
