This morning I was driving east on Hwy. 7 and was just west of the Platte River (near Brighton in Adams County). As I'm always on the lookout for birds I noticed two large raptor-sized birds fly north across the Hwy. I kept glancing to try and figure out which species (not the best light). All of a sudden they were talons-locked and tumbling downward while the light was catching the white heads and tails of two Bald Eagles. I saw about 3 somersaults before they separated. I admit I had a very "wow" conversation with myself seeing this display! Also, saw a Western Meadowlark on a power line today.
My FOS Mourning Dove pair in my yard was sighted March 26 (a couple of days earlier than last year - same pair?). I expect they will remain all season.
Happy Spring,
