I am delighted to report that yesterday observers Bob Strahorn and Meta
Little identified our first Golden Eagle at Turkey Point this season.

 

Today was on the slow side before passage of the cold front, but I saw a
Red-headed Woodpecker moving through, and I watched an immature Bald Eagle
eating a fish on the fly, holding the fish in its talons while soaring.

"The natural function of the wing is to soar upwards and carry that which is
heavy up to the place where dwells the race of gods. More than any other
thing that pertains to the body it partakes of the nature of the divine."
