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.

Sorry, trying out a new re-sizing technique!

He was fast for such a big guy. Had to zoom in a lot on this one.

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

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.
