this morning at 945 i had an adult golden eagled perched(!) on rt 6 in harriman state park just west of the traffic circle as you go towards central valley. i was going east when i saw several crows mobbing the bird, and i was able to pull over and photograph the bird for a couple of minutes. sadly it flew off going away from me so i didn't get a good flight shot, but i did not see any white in the tail leading me to believe that this was a mature golden, possibly one of the birds seen this winter in the storm king mt area? its golden nape was glowing in the morning sun. i put 4 shots up on my website _www.stevesachsphotography.com_ (http://www.stevesachsphotography.com) under "NEW WINTER 2009-10" while i'm here, i'll mention my photo exhibit that is up at the Teatown nature center in Ossining -"Wintering birds of prey of the northeast". the photos will be up for the month of February and i will be having a reception there on sun feb. 28 from 3-5 so come by and check it out and say hello steve sachs white plains
