[birdky] RPT: Bernheim eagle trip results and Reformatory Lake, Oldham Co.

About 15 people attended yesterday's Beckham Bird Club field trip to Bernheim 
Forest to look for eagles. The day was quite brisk to say the least! We saw 3 
Golden Eagles, but none of them exceptionally well. Our best looks were at a 
juvenile along Mt. Carmel Church Road and an unaged bird that approached then 
glided off to the east, showing its golden nape. We didn't see much else, 
although Red-tails and kestrels were conspicuous; 4 Mute Swans were at Lake 
Nevin.
 
This afternoon I made a brief stop by the Reformatory Lake outside of Buckner, 
Oldham County. I was surprised to find most of the lake still unfrozen, but 
tonight with calmer winds a lot of it will probably freeze.
