Several years ago I saw a Golden Eagle stoop on a feeding flock of Greater Sandhills at the Monte Vista NWR, during the Crane Festival in March. It came in like a rocket, struck a crane in the standing flock, landed about 20 feet away, then hopped/flew back to dispatch and consume its prey. The sandhill flock settled back down and went back to feeding, leaving an open circle of about 50-foot diameter around the eagle. Kevin Corwin west Centennial Arapahoe County
