Bald Eagle Sighting

Dianne Dobson reports from Ron Kingswood:

I thought that maybe the blog would be a good place to put this sighting. Golden Eagles are fairly rare and we seem to have several sightings in the last week or so.
Diane

Diane, I have another sighting of a Golden Eagle, this one also an immature. White at the base of the tail feathers, and the very noticeable white at the base of the primaries and the start of the secondaries. It was sitting on a bluff below our cliff (west of Port Bruce) and flew west.
