After weeks with an upper respiratory infection, I was finally feeling better
this AM when Patty Bernardi called, out of the blue. Not having seen her in
ages I suggested we go to Ankeny NWR... We got out of the car at Eagle Marsh,
and almost immediately Patty said something about a BRANT. It was on the water
with several hundred CACKLING GEESE and a few CANADAS. I don't know how she
saw it so quickly. I had a hard time finding it, but finally did. Then I
looked up and the adult GOLDEN EAGLE that I saw a couple days ago was soaring
directly overhead, with a RT HAWK and HARRIER harassing it, in the bright but
cold sunshine. This around 11 AM. We could not find the beautiful adult
RED-SHOULDERED HAWK that's been around. No white geese either.
