[Sandy Hevener <hevener@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,
Photos of a bald eagle celebrating its fourth birthday (3/31/07) in the 
Blue Grass Valley of Highland Co. Sending in two installments to avoid 
jamming mailboxes.

Initially we (Patti Reum & I) setup a motion activated camera on 
Margaret O'Bryan's place- east side of Snowy Mt., west side of VA 640 on 
VA/WV line.We aimed it at some lamb carcases and after three days had 
one photo of deer and 127 photos of grass blowing in the wind. Nothing 
bothered the carcases so I moved the operation to the west side of Snowy 
Mt.

Some of the results are included here. The location is west of Snowy Mt. 
at bottom of Lantz Mt. on hill above Chris Royal's house- large cream 
house on west side of VA 644, Hardscrabble Rd. about 1/4 mile north of 
VA 643, Hevener Lane. We see golden eagles flying into an area nearby on 
Lantz Mt. the Royals call "The Rookery."  Obviously our first camera 
capture was a bald eagle, not golden. This is one of several areas we've 
scouted to search for golden eagle nesting on April 21. We are working 
with WV biologists on this and hope to gather some help from interested 
birders. Anyone interested may contact me or Patti Reum at
