One of the two Golden Eagles that we saw in the same place. You can just see the remains of the white patch on the underwings and the white on the tail. Love those "fingers"! Such a thrill to see these - I think I have only ever seen two or three Golden Eagles in the wild. A friend had very generously invited me to go along with him today, exploring the area south of the city, in the Porcupine Hills, Foothills and Nanton area. The weather was incredible and the scenery breath-taking! Everything from flat grassland, to rolling hills and the Foothills, to the mountains. And "they" said this was going to be the most severe winter in 15 years! We saw: 2 Golden Eagles 50 Wild Turkeys, approx. 1 Northern Shrike 4 American Dippers Eurasian Collared Doves, several Snow Buntings, 1 flock 1 Great Horned Owl 1 Rough-legged Hawk 2 Gray Jays Rock Doves (Pigeons) Common Raven, many Chickadees Downy Woodpecker 1 White-breasted Nuthatch Magpies, plenty House Sparrows Mule Deer White-tailed Deer 1 Moose 1 Coyote
