The Eagle we saw had a white head and tail. It wasn’t a juvenile.
Thanks,

We have had Bald Eagle flyover at Cherokee Park a few times. I’ve seen them
on a few of my Spring and Fall walks, and pretty sure I had one there for a
Christmas Bird Count one year.
Not regular by any means but they do pass over.
With water still freezing up in the north there may be a surge going south,
along with a large number of waterfowl.
Golden Eagle is always a rarity but they do pass through. I’ve personally not
seen one flying over Cherokee Park, I do know Brian Walker had a Golden
flyover Reformatory Lake in Oldham Co not too long ago.He also had photos as
well for documentation.
I believe the area in Bernheim Forest in Clermont, KY still has a couple of
Golden Eagles that winter there from Canada. I can’t remember if they have
been located recently.
Good Birding,

Nice! I have been wondering about an eagle report at Cherokee. Someone (a
non-birder) described seeing one around there recently, and they were
thinking after looking it up that it was a Golden Eagle. I have been
wondering if there is really a Golden Eagle around there, or if they saw a
juvenile Bald Eagle, and mistook it for a Golden, simply because its head
was brown. Did the Eagle you saw have a white head? That would help us
know if they saw the same eagle as you did, or a different one.

My fiancée and I decided to get out an enjoy a hike through Cherokee Park
on this cold, sunny afternoon. As we walked up the last hill to the
Cherokee tennis courts at approximately 1:30 we had the pleasant surprise
of seeing a Bald Eagle fly directly over the tennis courts. It caught a
thermal in the distance and glided upwards providing great views for the
next few minutes. It’s the first time I’ve seen an Bald Eagle in
Cherokee Park.
