Hello,

Walking at Sunnyvale Baylands Park this morning, I spotted a GOLDEN EAGLE in
the largest evergreen tree beyond the perimeter fence at the southeast
corner of the park.  The Eagle stayed in the tree during the hour we walked
in the park, but when we returned to the car, the Eagle flew from the tree
into the park and circled over the corner of the field and above the
southeast corner of the parking lot.  The bird continued to circle, gaining
altitude as he did.  I could see the golden nape feathers as he flew.  I
also noticed that the leading edge of the wings appeared gold, too.  This
was at least a second year bird without the white areas shown in Sibley.
When we drove away the Eagle had gained considerable altitude and continued
circling.

The MERLIN was atop a tall pole in the climbing area behind the amphitheater
area at the northwest end of the park.  This is only the second time I've
seen this bird here since the San Jose Christmas Bird Count, though before
that, I had seen him here most days for a week or two.

Rosalie Strait
