We drove from Davis to Woodland and I had to repeatedly stop so he could marvel at some kite, kestrel or hawk. "You're in a gold-mine of raptors," he said. There are serveral large sanctuaries, mostly wetlands though. I remember going to Grizzlie Island and seeing a tree full of great horned owls which was pretty neat. Hard to photograph since they were backlite. When I get back to Davis I'll ask about the location in the East Bay hills that has a huge population of golden eagles - there's just the right proportion of native grasslands and trees to support both the ground squirrels and the eagles. Doug will be on this I'm sure. Adam - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
