Today's Wildlife Highlight! - 5/14/2011 6:46:51 PM    RedGinger Posts: 6727 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: offline On our way home from some errands on the Reservation, today, I spotted this dude up in a tree.  "Is that what I think it is?!", I said.  "Yep!"  Here he is.  He was at the top of this tree, right off the side of an old bridge, so I had to zoom.

I've seen a golden and american bald at a hunting show. Both rescues now making tours of the states as reps. They are massive up close. A lot bigger than I would have guessed anyway. Nice to see them coming back to the nor'east. They've been at the Quabbin for about ten years now. _____________________________ http://youtu.be/YkdOqdpSc0A makes a man cry it does lol.

RE: Today's Wildlife Highlight! - 5/14/2011 8:24:08 PM    swizzle Posts: 3596 Joined: 3/2/2005 From: Upstate NY Status: offline We have a steady population starting to grow around the great sacandaga lake area. Some people call the vultures in tuxedos because they mainly feed on carrion. I've seen around a dozen of them all together over the past 5 or 6 years. I've only seen one golden eagle. I was on a peak looking down on him as he circled below. Really a massive bird. Looked like it could carry a baby deer away. Very sweet pics Red. Swiz (in reply to mr.fred) Post #: 8

RE: Today's Wildlife Highlight! - 5/14/2011 8:58:02 PM    RedGinger Posts: 6727 Joined: 12/7/2007 Status: offline Thanks, everyone.  Yeah, they're making a comeback, for sure.  Growing up,  I never saw one.  They're kind of like moose, because as Swiz said, you don't realize how big they are until you see one in person.  I haven't seen a Golden Eagle before.  I've gotten more into birds over the years.  We have some completely gold ones that have been in the yard for a couple weeks now.  I have to find out what those are. Forgot I took a video.  I might as well post that too, as soon as it's ready. < Message edited by RedGinger -- 5/14/2011 8:59:21 PM > _____________________________ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyVTdY2BI3g (in reply to swizzle) Post #: 9

Pick yourself up a copy of Peterson's field guide to the birds. Might be able to get one cheap on Amazon. Swiz (in reply to cobaltbot) Post #: 13

RE: Today's Wildlife Highlight! - 5/16/2011 7:59:58 PM    randgrithr   Posts: 181 Joined: 9/14/2008 Status: offline Eagles are my absolute favorite bird. Great shots! I love how he turns his head all the way around to look at you while you're behind him! We had an yearling bald eagle (male) show up in our area, but they captured and banded him and released him somewhere upstate. Mostly we get osprey and the occasional red tailed hawk.
