An adult GOLDEN EAGLE just soared high over Sapsucker Woods heading NE. I've also had a few Accipiters, about 2000 Snow Geese, and 8 Cackling Geese mixed in with Canadas. Jay McGowan -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME

Susie I spent about an hour on Mt. Pleasant around noon. Lots of geese high. An adult NORTHERN GOSHAWK went over fairly low, and a dark phase ROUGH-LEGGED HAWK was hunting one of the fields. I then set up in the large field across from our house in Brooktondale, where 2 BALD EAGLES soared by—a
