One of my co-workers called me at 4 pm today to ask if
Golden Eagles live in Skagit County. She thought she saw
one in a field near LaConner. Two hours later, when I got
off work, I did a drive by of the site and confirmed it.
I watched it feeding in a freshly mowed field at Young
and LaConner-Whitney Rd for half an hour. For reference,
that's near the Farmhouse restaurant. At about 8 pm it
flew off to the west toward more mowed fields, (doing a
nice fly-over of my truck, allowing for photos). I'll
post one later. Credit to my non-birder friend Debbie
Nelson-Suit for an amazing observation.
