I am curious, more than anything...not that is not possible. I have had
immature Bald Eagles fly over our home in Borowick Farms, one exit from
Buckner exit and right at I-71. They look so much like a Golden Eagle, before
their head feathers turn white, I am just thinking... that it may be that
rather than a Golden. Did you by chance get any photographs? WOW, either
way, pretty cool sighting! Image below is one just getting the white
feathering on head, taken last season ;)
Best Regards,

Lauren Niemann and I did some wandering today, starting at the
Parklands (with an extremely feisty Golden-crowned Kinglet, showing
off his characteristic blaze) and then heading to the Ohio River. In
between we drove out into Oldham County, and along the way back, we
had an adult Golden Eagle fly over I-71 just west of Buckner (huge
bird, entirely dark underneath, wings held nice and flat).
There are still good numbers of White-winged Scoters scattered at
various places. We counted seven Long-tailed Ducks out in the open
off Ashland Park- I think four of them were adult males.
