>April 27, 2007 - Today Mike Dadswell told me that, on two different >occasions between Apr. 15 and 19/07, he saw well an IMMATURE GOLDEN EAGLE >locally. Both sightings were along Hwy. 101, first near the Windsor >Causeway toward Wolfville, and second somewhere between Hantsport and >Avonport. He checked a field guide to check on the markings seen, and the >drawings fit his observations. Both times the eagle was a low elevations >along the highway. Needless to say, it's likely that both sightings were of >the same individual eagle. Mike commutes from Chester to Wolfville a few >times a week and is an excellent observer and naturalist with interests in >all forms of life. > >I wish we had corroborating photos to share like David Christie did for us >not so long ago. > Well! Thursday I was driving to Falmouth from Windsor and going over the bridge ( the old #1 ) . I saw a very large bird flying over the highway at about Jeff Auto. At first I thought it was a heron, but it seemed " too heavy" and I couldn't notice the long legs behind it. There are eagles around but the outline didn't really fit that either. No white head and it seemed even builkier than a bald eagle. I was soooooo tempted to pull over and watch it but I was running late and had exactly 2 minutes to get to my classroom before the bell rang. AS it was I was driving forward but my head was craned around backwards trying to watch it for as long as I could. My thought was golden eagle as well. I can definately say it wasn't a heron or a bald eagle. Angela in Windsor. -- Angela Slaunwhite adslaun@ns.sympatico.ca
