My son needed a nap and I wanted a particular brand of eagle, so after
reading Dan's post to MDOSPREY, we went to Chesapeake Farms late this
AM.

He slept the entire way and awoke to two Bald Eagles involved in an
aerial display with two GOLDEN EAGLES (same age description as Dan's
post).  At one point, one of the Bald Eagles took a run at the juv
Golden. The two pairs soon went their seperate ways North.

Per Ed's post from the BWI tower this morning... the geese were moving
in decent numbers on the shore as well. Only one Snow Goose seen (at
Ches Farms).

Ducks were much the same as what Dan reported yesterday, with the
addition of one REDHEAD at Chesapeake Farms.

We returned to Annapolis rested and ready for lunch.

Good Birding,

West Annapolis, MD

The first was a immature bird and the second was an adult that flew over 10 mins later.  The several 1000 Canada Geese saw both birds well before I did.  When I saw their heads all go up, I looked up and sure enough a Golden Eagle was flying by.
