Bald Eagle

[Axeman]

I have been spotting a bald eagle hanging out, perched on trees overlooking a deer carcass laying in a cornfield (corn off). On one occasion it was feeding on the carcass. On another occasion, it was perched in a tree while a golden eagle fed on the carcass. I've very certain it was a golden and not an immature BE b/c I checked out the legs.

Unfortunately I didn't get a pic of the GE -- I don't use a cell -- but I did get pix of the GE on another day (came back with my camera)....unfortunately the files are too big to upload....     :roll:

Just in case someone is in the area, Concession 12 about 1 km west of Highway 6, south side of road....Ayton, ON.

Great find Axeman.  Too bad your report had not been a few days earlier, could have included this on our trip up to Holstein for the Christmas parade!!!!!!

oh geez....you'd have seen it for sure...it was around all weekend....enjoy the parade?

(Correction: I was able to take a pic of the BE...not the GE as my original post states.)

Oh, that’s too bad, would have gone if we had known!!!!  Yes, did enjoy the parade.  Anything to do with horses!!!!!  Sorry birds, that is my first hobby, but can be great birdng riding!!!!!  Took friends for their first time and we had not been in a few years.  Saw a BE soaring earlier this year when I was riding.

Today I saw a pair of BE's feeding at the deer carcass....I got some decent pix....but they won't upload..... :roll:

We had a pair nesting nearby for a number of years -- unfortunately a storm blew the nest down last spring...a single broken egg was found in the wreckage....the nest was over 5 years old...I have pix of the nest too but.....
