It wasn't exactly a Chihuahua, but I did see a Golden Eagle this weekend
eating something I wasn't expecting, a Canada Goose. Right out in the
middle of open sagebrush habitat, quite a ways from what I would consider
'good' Canada Goose habitat. Makes me wonder, was it scavenging on
something a hunter had killed, or did it somehow pull a Canada Goose out
of the air? It could not lift up the bird and fly off with it when it
saw me. Anyway, it certainly was 'cool'.

Also checked out the Winthrop Hawk-owl location, with no success. Ted
Stevens said it hasn't been seen since 30 December. Adios amigo.
