This report is second-hand again because apparently I don't look up when golden eagles fly over. The elk biologist for the Department of Fish and Wildlife has observed a golden eagle(s) numerous times during the month of December on a big strip mine on the Floyd/Pike county line. The strip mine is referred to as Ivy Creek. Charlie and his technician showed me pictures of the eagle(s) in flight on their camera. The most recent date as recorded on the camera was Dec. 15th.
