Back in 2001, I believe the closest golden eagle was from Fourmile Canyon
over by the Shepherds Flat Wind Farm. I'm not sure they have survived the
big white blenders, but I'm curious if anyone every found their nest or
knows if they are still around there.

I did both diurnal and nocturnal raptor surveys for the tree farm when
Potlatch still had it. I found saw whet, western screech, barn,
short-eared (at the edges), long-eared and great-horned owls as well as
red-tailed, rough-legged and ferruginous hawks and at least one golden
eagle perched right in the middle of one of the blocks of trees. Kestrels
also nested in the nest boxes – it was the first time I saw kestrel
pellets. There were also mule deer and the occasional elk as well as at
least one black bear using it. Artificial it may be but it functions on
some level as wildlife habitat.

And Saw-whet Owls, which apparently use boxes there.

Possibly of interest to Morrow Co. listers:

I guess Red-eyed Vireos etc. will be a little less well represented in
the county, after this artificial forest is cleared off.
