Yesterday, January 18th, I saw at least 7 Golden Eagles in my brief trip around Russell County. In Corn Valley I had 5 in the air at the same time. There were 4 juveniles playing a modified game of tag over an open field on top of the ridge. They were landing just over the crest of the ridge. First one would hop into the air then another. One of the ones soaring would drop down to the ground and the others would take off. Then all four would be soaring and diving at each other. I watched this for amost 10 minutes. Just as all four dropped over the mountain I scanned laft and saw another eagle much higher than these 4. As it soared over the ridge I could see that it was a 2nd year eagle. I also saw 2 others on Mountain Rd and one was an adult. The other was a juvenile and may have been one of the four. I also saw 2 eagles on Clifton Farms Road but I could not be sure they were different birds. I also saw 1 Red-shouldered Hawk, 9 Red-tailed Hawks and 3 American Kestrels.
