DETAILS |
|
|
Take binoculars and a lunch, Often there
are bird counters at work so you can get expert information. The
raptors do not like to fly over open water. They fly down from the north
following the coast line and suddenly find they are on the peninsula,
Golden Gate Bridge and open water ahead of them, so they circle and
circle getting up courage and wing strength before plunging across. |
