White geese on Cooley Lake, Arapahoe County, and bald eagle in Woodmar, Jefferson County

[modise]

Good evening, all - while bicycling on Mineral about 1:00 p.m., on the south side of Cooley lake, I saw a really large flock of white-cheeked geese.  Mixed in with them were three white geese - no binoculars, so I don't know if they were snow or Ross's.

When I started my ride, about 9:30 a.m., I saw a bald eagle perched in a tree just east of the intersections of Polk, Yukon, and Peakview, just east of Woodmar Square Park (about 1/2 mile south of Clement Park).  I've seen them overhead in our neighborhood, but never perched - pretty cool!
