All:

After looking briefly (again) at the Ross's Goose yesterday a.m., I went to=
 Rainbow Haven. There were no Snow Geese from the New Year's Day flock, but=
 there were good numbers of Canadas in the lagoon behind the beach.

It was amusing to watch 4 Bald Eagles - an adult, one 4(?)-yr old and two i=
mmatures -=A0 from the the settled road just north of the beach. They were =
near-hovering in the stiff wind & sequentially plunging down to try snatchi=
ng an Am. Black Duck from the water. It avoided them by diving, adequately,=
 'though quite unprofessionally, just before they reached the water'd surfa=
ce. Score after about five minutes: duck 1, eagles zero, and the eagles gav=
e up.

HNY to all,

Ian

Ian McLaren
