I don’t know whereabouts that you live ZC but I’m in western Washington and we do see them more frequently than I ever thought I would. We get a couple variety of hawks too.
Amazing critters!
I almost hit one last spring going down the hill into Sumner.
Dumas bird was sittin in the road scavenging a dead possum or some such.
Problem is, they’re so big, it takes them some time to get enough ground speed to get airborne, so I had to swerve.
