I met Rick Asamoto and Mike Busam at the Caesar Creek Beach this morning. Bumped into Leslie Houser and Kathi Hutton a couple of time throughout the day at Caesar Creek. Ran into the Wulkers at Spring Valley. These areas are in Warren and Green Counties. Before meeting up with Rick and Mike I had a possible Golden Eagle flying near the SR 73 bridge. The bird was uniformly dark except for some white at the base of the tail. It was too large for a Harrier or Rough-legged hawk. It also did not have the the rectangular wing look of a Bald Eagle. There was a Bald Eagle that flew in the general area about 15 minutes later that did not look anything like the bird I saw. It was heading in the direction of the wetlands near the visitor center. Birders in the area may waant to keep an eye out for this bird. Birds seen: Canada Goose Gadwall Black Duck Mallard N. Shoveler N.
