Making circles in the sky

A sky full of circling raptors over my village?!

We do have a pair of resident eagles that soar above the woods on the rim of our hill, but never have I seen a whole skyful of big birds.
.
And just as quickly as they appeared, they disappeared.

  4. That's very cool.
    In the mountain's of Southeast Oklahoma where's a place called "Buzzard's Gap", a break in the mountains. I've only been there a few times but there were always several buzzards circling way up high.

  5. That is a lot of big birds! And I'm glad you have pine trees (at least I think I saw pine needles). Pines and hills seem to go together!

  6. They almost look like buzzards circling overhead! A nice change for SkyWatch!

  10. Everytime I see a raptor, I ask, "What's below?" They seem so beautiful, strong, and gloomy at the same time.
