Eagles! This morning, as I was making pancakes, Omaha swore that she saw the falcon that frequently hangs out in our back yard up on its usual perch (where the bottom bird in the picture is now), when one of these two eagles came swooping out of nowhere, hit the falcon and (probably) killed it. She said she saw the body of the falcon fall to the ground, and then an eagle took its place on the perch. A few minutes later, after I had fetched my camera, a second eagle took up position on the higher perch, and they stayed there for at least half an hour, watching and grooming.
One of them is still there, two hours later, just watching idly. It's vaguely creepy. And it's freaking out the local wildlife; the birds are just going nuts, screaming and flitting about in a panic.
