1000th Observation 🎉
One of the best species of all time

Predation by sharp-shinned hawk. Witnessed. Major wing feathers plucked, contour feathers fell in puffs, and the hawk flew off with the body.

Bear in an oak tree. Probably dispersing young male from Sonoma County. Found bear scat on a trail in Olema Valley back in April.

A case could be made for Barred Owl at this location, but it would be on the extreme large end of the track length. GHO seems more likely.

Fresh tracks and hopping trail in fine silt.

Fresh tracks in fine silt.

looks like someone sawed off the antlers (skeleton was not far from an infrequently used trail), so I’m guessing it was a young bull that died in summer or fall.

Female. Feather in first picture has a pinched shaft giving a more pronounced bend. Last picture is coverts?
