February 24 2007 1:15 p.m. Mission Bay RV Park (formerly, De Anza RV Park)
We went to SD (a 6-7 hour drive) for 3 nights. We were going to spend the afternoon at the RVP, visiting with friends. It was also my favorite site to observe NG. Within 3 minutes, I found 2 or 3 Ravens with 1 Red -Tailed Hawk. The hawk was spiraling downward, as was the Raven. Above and behind them may have been a NG. 5 minutes later, I was scanning the Spanish- Church- hillside. At about 1,000 feet altitude was a NG; soaring and circling. Below the raptor was a flock of circling pigeons. The NG stooped to an elevation of about 500 feet, then leveled-off, and followed the ridge line. Observation time - 3 minutes. Note: I hadn't been to this area in 7 years!
