After referencing my resources it was determined that it is a golden eagle, only my third confirmed bird. The rest of the patrol was pretty quite with a few more Whitetails, a Roughie and some chickadees. Tomorrow is my regular Sunday tour and I’m hoping for something to report! Have a great day!

Golden Eagle
Bruno and I thought we would do a patrol out at the Conservation area. It was a very slow start with 4 whitetails and a couple of ravens. When we reached the southeast corner and broke out into the field we spotted this large bird of prey. It took a little peak at us then dropped out of the tree and flew overhead. I manage to squeeze off a couple of shots, and ended up with these.
