Since I�m here more than anyone else, I�ve seen many hopeful watchers leave the Knob, only to become sacrifices as an exciting bird comes by moments later - but today was the first time I was the sacrifice. I left for 2 minutes to use the bathroom, and came back to a very excited Craig showing me beautiful photos of a golden eagle that flew close and eye level seconds before I made it back!
Non-raptor Observations: Pine siskins and purple finches going by throughout the day, along with a couple bluebirds. A painted lady in the parking lot.
