Raptor Observations: No raptors migrating past the lookout today; however, a few birds seen but not migrating including a sharp-shinned hawk, red-shouldered hawk, two turkey vultures and a golden eagle. The golden eagle (4th/5th year) appeared low on the north side under the slope of 5 with two ravens. The three birds continued to fly in parallel with one another, back and forth in the area for about 5 minutes. The golden eagle eventually dropped down into the woods under the slope of 4 and shortly after the ravens flew southeast.
