After chatting with Madame Mary, Zeng Gong was ready to return to the villa, there were a lot of things going on today, not only Sanders was going to Alec's ranch, Zeng Gong was also going to Wyoming to inspect Lewis's Limousin cattle, of course, only after completing Ruth's treatment before he could take the plane.
Wyoming is located in the south of Montana, the largest national forest park in the United States - Yellowstone Park is mostly located in the state, livestock is more developed, second only to Texas, ranking second in the United States, is also the home of many rivers, such as the Missouri River, the Yellowstone River, etc., providing a large amount of irrigation water for the dry Wyoming, making agriculture and animal husbandry in the forefront of the country.
Rabachi, a city in Lincoln County, Wyoming, with a population of just a few hundred, is smaller than Livingston, with the Fontenale Reservoir formed by a barrage downstream and Highway 189 running through it, which Zeng Gong felt was even colder than Livingston.
"Let's go, Zeng, we're not as good here as Livingston, and the dry air is always unbearable. Lewis took Zeng Gong into a pickup truck and continued north along Route 189, where Lewis's ranch was thirty kilometers north of Rabachi in a small plain of low mountains and influenced by the Great Basin, where the air was windy and dry.
"But it's good for grazing, isn't it?" Zeng Gong said unconsciously, squinting his eyes and enjoying the wild visual impact here.
It is the vast and sparsely populated areas of pasture in the West that create large pastures and large farm areas that provide a steady supply of food and meat for the United States and the world. If the western United States and the Great Plains were to collapse one day, it would be no exaggeration to say that the whole world would go hungry.
"That's right. Lewis nodded with some pride. His ancestors have lived here for generations, and it is said that his ancestors were the first pioneers here. Because of the vast land here, it took root and multiplied here, and did not follow the large army to California to pan for gold.
"Wait, Lewis stops first. Lewis was reminiscing about the past when Zeng Gong suddenly heard a hurried shout in his ears.
"What's wrong, Zeng?" asked Lewis with concern, thinking that something had happened to Zeng Gong, but Zeng Gong stared out the window, staring at a certain location on the prairie to be exact.
"Something seems to have fallen there. Zeng Gong pointed to a low hillside. A dark shadow had just fallen from the sky, and it was too far away to be seen.
"Something has fallen?" Lewis looked at Zeng Gong's fingers, a piece of wild grass swaying in the wind, nothing could be seen, and he looked at Zeng Gong suspiciously.
"Something fell in that direction, I guess it was an eagle or something, but I don't know what it was. Zeng Gong shook his head, he wanted to go over and make sure.
"Eagle?" Lewis looked in some surprise in the direction Zeng Gong had pointed out. He hoped to see something, but unfortunately he was disappointed, and there was nothing but dead grass that had not yet sprouted. "Shall we go down and have a look?"
It's close to the pastures and even closer to the eagles flying in the sky. Just like his own back garden, there are not only cattle in the pasture, but also a lot of Duber sheep. Some of the winter-bred lambs are still very small and are the targets of eagle attacks. They are much easier to catch than rabbits, and Zeng Gongyi said that he was a little nervous.
Zeng Gong nodded hurriedly. That's exactly what he meant, if Lewis didn't speak, he was a little embarrassed to go alone, let the master's house wait for him here, and soon the two came to an agreement, and the cowboy from Lewis's ranch took care of the pickup, and the two of them took out two pistols from it, and set off as defensive weapons, and the wounded eagles were easy to attack people, and it was very dangerous, and they had to be guarded against.
As the saying goes, looking at the mountain and running a dead horse, I originally looked at the small hill in front of me, measured it with my feet, and suddenly the distance became much longer, because of the fetters of the withered grass under my feet, it took half an hour for the two of them to reach their destination.
"Lewis, wait a minute, this is where you just fell. Zeng Gong stopped Lewis, who continued to advance, pointed to a dense dry grass halfway up the mountain, and said with a frown.
"Zeng, are you sure it's here?" Lewis asked, uncertain, pointing to the lush withered grass in front of him. There's not a trace of crushing here, and there's no way anything has caught here.
"This is it. Zeng Gong said firmly. "It's better to be careful, if it's some kind of eagle, it's dangerous to alarm it rashly, shall we split up and look for it, or what?"
"Let's split up. Lewis let his guard down, he could now assume that it was a small bird, otherwise the large eagles would have left traces here.
"Wait. Zeng Gong suddenly found that there were blood stains on the leaves of a dead grass, and said a little nervously, he could almost tell that it was an eagle that fell, and now it seems that it still has a certain amount of mobility.
Zeng Gong gently touched the blood on the leaf a few times with his hand, and it seemed that the warmth left could be judged that the eagle should have just left, obviously the wings were injured, it used its two claws, using the cover of the dead grass to slowly escape, and seemed to be very afraid of something in the air.
Zeng Gong couldn't help but squint and look at the sky, and sure enough, there were a few small black dots hovering in the sky, even if two humans appeared on the ground, they refused to leave, anxiously looking for the enemy, so as to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
"Good guys, there are a few more guys up there. Lewis blocked the somewhat dazzling sun, and couldn't help but say in surprise, it is conceivable that there should have been a terrible battle just now, resulting in the current situation of not ending to die.
"Is this a tiger head sea eagle?" Zeng Gong walked a few steps along the bloodstains and found it in the densest dry grass, but he didn't expect it to be in the United States and its rare tiger head sea eagle, the sharp eagle eyes looked at Zeng Gong, and his cold eyes flashed with deep jealousy, it could feel great danger from Zeng Gong's body.
"What Steller's Sea Eagle?" Zeng Gong's words attracted Lewis, and looking at the big guy hidden in the grass, Lewis asked suspiciously.
Steller's sea eagles are not common large birds of prey in the United States, they mainly live in East Asia, breed on the eastern coast of Siberia, and then winter in the Shuqiu Islands and the Aleutian Islands.
"It's supposed to be a Steller's sea eagle, but I don't know why they're here, you know that they are almost invisible in the United States, Siberia, China, South Korea, North Korea, and Japan are their main range of activities, and the gray-brown longitudinal stripes of the tabby-like feathers on the head make it look extraordinary. Zeng Gong touched his chin and observed carefully before finally determining the identity of the eagle. (To be continued.) )
