This morning we had to go and feed the cows over at the golf course, a pasture next to Stoneridge golf course, after we fed at the feedlot. When we got there I spotted a bald eagle out on the pasture.
They seem to congregate in pastures with cows this time of year, my guess would be that they do this because the cows are calving and they come to eat the afterbirth. When we headed out into the field we actually spotted a newborn calf and as we headed down the lane and two of the cows took after the eagle and started chasing it away. Apparantly they didn't like it being so close to the newborn calf. I got a photo of the red cow chasing the eagle, you can kind of tell what is going on in the photo if you look closely. Before we left we ended up seeing 3 bald eagles and 1 golden eagle. I always feel like seeing a bald eagle is a sign of good luck, so I guess we really had a lucky morning.
