I was in a park outside of San Jose (with my hubby) and we were hiking ... the sky was clear ... it was a beautiful day ... and a shadow covered us ... I looked up to see the most massive and majestic bird ever ...

A condor ... I have kept that kodakable moment in my mind’s eye ever since

I was at a restaurant once where eagles swept in and attacked the rabbits the owners had put out for children's delight.

A few survived the attack but lived in fear afterwards constantly looking skyward for days later.

driveline so instead we had one of "those adventures" getting back out. fortunatly our leader was very much a local and the tow driver out of Kanab also knew the back roads.

did you get to have some cookies from Jacob Lake Inn? or one is enough for an entire day, really. LOL
