Once a year, there exists the opportunity to see an influx of birds of prey that arrive for the calving season in the spectacularly scenic Carson Valley. This remarkable interaction between nature and agriculture attracts nature lovers, of all kinds, who come to observe eagles, hawks, falcons and a variety of other bird and wildlife species.
Most of the fields we drove by were filled with newly born calves. I love these animals with their kind, sweet faces.
We saw many hawks and a few eagles in flight. Yet, we only saw one young eagle perched. We think we were a few days too late. There were no calves birthing today. The birds of prey consume the afterbirth. Their timing was better than ours.
Every stream we drove by had the same majestic reflection upon it. What a spectacular time of year to be exploring the valley. We were rewarded by such beauty.
