Went to the Wilds with a couple of friends.  We were treated to great views of the Golden Eagle around 12:30PM.  Sitting at the visitors center having lunch,  it popped up over a rise causing me to drop my sandwich!  Then we watched it soar across this field,  land and come racing back with something in its talons.  Only to disappear behind a knoll.  We went out to international road to see if we could relocate it.  Up it popped again!  This time two redtails were dive bombing him and it didn't faze him in the least.  They looked so miniscule next to him.  Great scope views.  Anyways,  it was a great show enjoyed by all.  Many light-phased rough-legged hawks ( 14+ );  only one dark-phase.  Also one flock of 20+ eastern meadowlarks.  Redtails and Harriers kept us entertained as well.  No male harriers were noted.  On a note closer to home,  we still have four redpolls visiting our feeders.  Tuesday the 25th,  we had 25 mourning doves  under the feeder.  The most we have ever had has been eleven.
