Golden eagles. Three at 2:00 this afternoon, soaring and chasing each
other, passing over the road a few times. At least one of them had white
wing patches and a distinct white band on its tail. Eagles were between the
third and fourth creek crossings along Harrison Fork Road, which can be
reached by staying on 245 instead of entering the main Bernheim entrance; go
a few miles and turn right just past a pizza place. A few miles later, and
you reach the first creek crossing. (You're on your own to decide if you
can safely drive through the crossings. It's not always possible, even with
a high-clearance 4-WD vehicle. In particular, icing or recent rain can mean
you turn around and spend your time some other way.)
Red-breasted nuthatch. One in pines across the road from the visitors
center.
N. harrier. Female, seemed to be headed for meadow in center of main loop.
