Today when I was birding here in Lincoln County, starting my year list, I
saw a Golden Eagle. It came from the South, and disappeared to the North. I
initially thought it was a Turkey Vulture (it was about 1/4 of a mile
away), but it didn't look right so I examined it closer and took some
photos. Here is one of the pictures.[image: Inline image 1]
Also, I saw the Long-tailed Duck in Davidson county on December 30th.
Unfortunately, it appeared that the bird was unable to move because of a
damaged wing. It would be a lifer, but it seems uncountable because it
probably didn't retain a "reasonable freedom of movement" (ABA). I would
appreciate any opinions on the countability of the duck.
Good birding to everyone in the New Year!
