Western red-tailed hawk – they note colors, tail, scream etc. Hawks not eaten Turkey vulture – red head, no "hair" on head, lives on dead meat, not catch live animals, found in mts., not eaten. Mourning dove – describe calls and wing whistles, good to eat One Indian has been in California and describes California Condor, bigger than eagle and turkey.
