Mt. Orange (just outside Trenton), Gibson Co.
For the 2nd time in 6 months I had an immature Bald Eagle soaring over my
house. Saturday while mowing the yard I saw a large raptor flying. All the
Purple Martins from the colony in my yard flew up to harass it. From a
distance I could tell it was larger than a Red-tailed Hawk. As I got closer I
saw the massive bill and knew immediately it was another Bald Eagle. I grabbed
my binoculars from the truck and got excellent views as the bird cruised
casually overhead. I called fo my two sons to come have a look and they both
got good looks through my binoculars as well.
Always exciting to have a Bald Eagle fly over!
Good birding,
