Had an interesting ride in to work today. Drove by a cornfield that was filled with crows. Then I realized a mature Bald Eagle was on the ground with them. I turned around thinking I could grab a good picture but spooked them all. The eagle crossed the road and perched in a large tree that overlooks a pheasant farm.
Within a half mile I spotted a Cooper's Hawk catching the morning sun from top of a tree and then 2 puffed up Red Tails sharing another tree. It was interesting to see the eagle up in the hills where I live though. There is no large creek to speak of. I know there have been some in the past who have remained around Catatonk Creek around the American Legion in Candor but have never seen one in a field. Since I raise poultry I am hoping he doesn't stick around too long. o_O -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
