Yesterday, I saw a Golden Eagle fledgling sitting on a telephone pole right next to McKean Rd. Amazingly, it stayed perched until I hit the gravel going about 30mph! I jumped out and caught the white tail (it probably had a black terminal band, but I didn't get a good enough look) and white wing patches, which looked just like the one pictured in Sibley (the top one of two illustrated). It flew to the electric tower one down from the nesting tower and I could see it sitting next to another Golden Eagle there. Without my scope, I couldn't see whether the the bird it joined was the second hatchling I saw before or an adult. It looked like the nest was empty. I'm guessing that this bird is practicing flight in this area (from electric tower to electric tower to phone pole, etc.). It truly is amazing to see such a large bird starting life, it gives one hope for the future of birds! Take care, Jean Myers P.S. Thanks for the nice notes regarding new digs!!! _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
