    This afternoon I saw a pair of Red-tailed Hawks stage an ariel attack  
    on a Golden Eagle and drive it away from the canyon they were  
    hunting. This on the Bayview Trail just north of Glider Hill. I saw  
    the Eagle again about a third of a mile further south on the trail,  
    hunting another canyon. The Eagle looked to be about twice the size  
    of the hawks, it took nerve for them to attack it by diving from  
    above, even though they did have it outnumbered.
