By mid-afternoon, she was sunbathing and eating California green grass and chasing birds.<br \/>\nShe was even trumpeting and mock-charging the other elephants, separated from her by a protective fence, said Pat Derby, president of the sanctuary that is Maggie&#8217;s new digs, run by the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pawsweb.org\/index.html\">Performing Animal Welfare Society<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Maggie left Anchorage on Thursday night on a C-17 Air Force jet after months of planning to move her. The trip was a &#036;400,000 operation, funded by a &#036;750,000 donation from former game show host Bob Barker.
