MD Osprey:

While counting today (1/2/2005) on the Annapolis CBC, we spotted an adult 
Golden Eagle. The location was near where Rutland Road passes under US Rt 
50, at Davidsonville, Anne Arundel County. MD. The bird was spotted around 
12:25 pm. It was kettling up and then took off toward the east, following 
Rt 50, heading toward Prince George's County and the direction of Bowie.

We had a good look at the bird. At first it confused us, pretending to be a 
Turkey Vulture, then we tried to morph it into a Black Vulture, but nothing 
looked quite right. Then we realized it was an eagle, but not a Bald Ealge, 
with its tiny head and different proportions. It was a full adult, showing 
no white anywhere.

Keep your eyes pealed. At the tally-up, Dave Mozurkewich predicted that it 
might head toward the Brown Station Landfill at Upper Marlboro ... who 
knows ...

Good luck.

Phil
