More Golden Eagles in Blackhawk co.

[Tommy Stone]

Today I had another GOLDEN EAGLE, just outside Washburn, off highway 218. This was an immature bird showing white tail band with black terminal band. Yesterday, I had the best look at an adult while driving home, right over my car on my street in perfect lighting. I could see the Golden nape, two tone to underwing, and buffy undertail coverts.

So far, this has been a phenomenal year for Golden Eagles in Blackhawk co.! This is the 8th one I've recorded this year!  There have also been also been a few other reports from other birders, here.
