Birding in Elk Garden and Clifton was fantastic today... Among the 50 plus species I found today, was able to get some terrific photos of a 1st/2nd year Golden Eagle that unexpectedly came up out of a field and flew into a nearby tree - totally awesome, a Broad-Winged Hawk found along Route 80 going into Honaker before the Clifton Farm Rd. turn-off, a Kestrel, and a Pileated Woodpecker... Also saw several Red-Tails, a Sharpie, and a juvenile Cooper's... These photos and others can be viewed on my website at: http://www.pbase.com/rkretz/recent_photos. Enjoy the birds...
