Ken, we do have the juvenivle bald eagles, but we have full grown Golden eagles around here as well. Up near and around lake Ontario the golden eagle has made a great comeback in recent years. I have seen about 10 in the area. ( 50 sq mile ) I am just lucky to have one in the woods behind my house. ( I have over 100 acres of wetlands behind my property where it is protected and thus lots of interesting critters. The one near my pond has a wing span of about 8 ft. Beautiful creature!!
Hey Ewest, I like the flower pics on your post there. I think all Erics have an eye for such things. Heres one or two from the pond area as well.
