Golden Eagle
It's probably just about the worst photo you've ever seen, but hey, do YOU have a photo of a Golden Eagle, ha, ha? I really just wanted this as a record for my Birds of Alberta Set. I do have lovely close shots of a Golden Eagle, but not taken in the wild. If you only knew how far away this beautiful bird was - and the light was really low. All I captured was a black silhouette, but lighened it to this. Didn't get photos of the other FOUR Golden Eagles we saw that day - they were more or less little specks on the tops of poles in the far, far, far distance. The Eagle above was a slightly bigger, dark blob. Seen on the Audubon Christmas Bird Count in the Nanton area on January 2nd, south of Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Four of us covered the south west quadrant of the Count circle.
January 13th: just had an e-mail from a person who also did the Nanton Bird Count, but a different quadrant of the area circle, saying that: "MY THINKING IS THAT THE EAGLE ACTUALLY IS A JUVENILE BALD EAGLE. THE MASSIVE BILL AND THE WHITE FLECKING IN THE PLUMAGE RULES OUT GOLDEN EAGLE. FROM A DISTANCE, AND BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF GOLDENS IN THE AREA, I CAN UNDERSTAND THAT IDENTIFICATION BEING MADE." Anyone have any ideas? Sorry it's such a poor photo for ID.
