Saw an immature Bald Eagle soaring and circling above Foley Mountain Conservation Area today near Westport at 1:30pm. It was initially low enough to photograph and ID but rose very high and appeared to join 3 other Bald Eagles (saw what appeared to be their white tail flashes in sunlight). Several Red Tailed and one Rough Legged Hawk between Ottawa and Perth. Our route beginning in Ottawa was Moodie south, right onto #8, left onto Richmond Road, continue to Hwy 15, left on Hwy 15 for less than 1 km and right on Franktown Road to Perth, through Perth and right at Hwy 10 to Westport. Turn left into F.M. Conservation Area at top of hill just before Westport and park at first parking lot on right. Short walk to lookout where you can scan cliff face for raptors.
