One of the great pleasures of working on Dan’s land is seeing wildlife living its wild life. The raptors must get really good updrafts in the Toynbee valley – and perhaps an extra thermal push from the newly-covered tunnel – because one can almost always see Bald Eagles soaring (and hear their eaglets calling for more mice). As usual, a picture from this camera/photographer doesn’t do the scene justice. At one point yesterday there were 3 hawks and 2 eagles soaring right above me and, just prior to this photo, a very lucky swallow that managed to escape the pursuit of an eagle.
