  • Could they have been eagles?

    Question

    While out for a walk yesterday, We saw what we think was a group of bald eagles. We saw one, and are certain it was one, followed by about 6 in a group circling, as in a kettle. Not all of them were mature in that group. They were making a strange chirping noises, which seems to be their call, after listening to their call online. Then, after passing over, they were followed by one last mature one. I tried to get my phone out for photos, but by the time I did, they were too far away, so pics not good. I have done lots of programs with you the past few years…except this last 6 months or so, due to catching up on some health issues. Please don’t tell me I am seeing things…my husband also saw them! Is this something they do? Looking forward to your reply.

    We believe this was most likely a group of Turkey Vultures that you were seeing.
