Media notes
The initial soft calls I believe are from nestlings. I could not see them, but the sound was coming from what looked like a nest and the adults were dive-bombing me. The louder calls later on in the cut are from the adult soaring overhead
Observation details
Two birds were soaring in circles overhead with two Turkey Vultures, which they occasionally chased. One bird was very vocal. I unknowingly walked too close to a nest and they started flying right at my head. I had no idea the nest was there. I located what was presumably the nest high in a tree, and I could hear soft vocalizations coming from it, though could not see the nestlings from my angle.
