- – Comments: “Seen just ahead of car above trees as I came over a rise looking into sun initially with better looks as it moved to the north. After first thinking it was a red-tail and then thinking it was a big Rough legged hawk I realized it was an immature Golden Eagle. In the end there was no doubt. Large dark bird, broad black tail band on white and white flashes on base of secondaries (top and bottom). Changed direction and glided toward drumlin toward the north east where it proceed to start circling and climbing providing opportunity to photograph. Photos (see checklist) aren’t best but confirm ID.
