The Sunday that the hay arrived and we were spending quality time with the horses and the dogs, we also had an unusual visitor. At first, it was flying with the turkey vultures, and was just another black winged object in the sky. As it got closer, we knew we had an eagle, but not certain what kind. Earlier in the year, before the snow had melted, I had spotted a bald eagle flying over the pastures. This one was with the flock of vultures. I would have to venture the guess that it is an immature baldy, but there seems something about the beak that does not seem heavy enough. Bald eagles were rare around here and are getting more common. Any one have an idea on what species of eagle this would be?
We zoomed as much as we could and these photos are then zoomed in on the computer, so excuse the pixilation.
