Fellow birders and posters, Want to thank all of you who responded to the post of the Golden Eagles over Perry County. Once again, I learned a great deal, both about Eagles, how to properly post a sighting, and how helpful this listserve can really be. First of all, based on help with what to look for in distinguishing between Golden and Bald eagles, we are now 99.2% certain that these were, in fact, two Golden Eagles soaring over our farm on Sunday. Thanks especially to Haans and Paul helping note what the important field marks would be. The key field marks were, in the order we observed them, a very large bird, all dark underparts, a slight dihedral, and a small head relative to tail ratio. The lack of any speckling or white spots was also important. We looked real hard for that and did not find them. When we got back and looked at photos on the Audubon app., we were fairly certain we were right. Now, as I said, we are 99.2% certain, if not more. This is a great tool for improving your birding skills. Thanks also to those friends and birding acquaintances who shared their own experiences. joe in the woods perry county somerset, ohio ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
