We went to Mud Bay Regional Park on Sunday. We witnessed some very strange acting from raptors. Two Northern Harriers and two Red-tailed Hawks were air-striking each-other. They did not care about us, so came pretty close. It was almost scary :D

On the way back we found a Bald Eagle eating a rabbit on a tree-top.

Before all of these bloody scene we found lots of Garter Snakes coming out from their winter den.
