Strathroy Golden

I had some work in the Strathroy area today. While working, I had a number of interesting sightings. Most exciting was a Golden Eagle which appeared to be hunting, near the intersection of Sylvan and Elm Tree Road's. It was observed heading west, not too high up. Here's a pretty awful pic of the bird below.

I know this is a pretty poor pic, but considering it was a point and shout camera I wasn't that surprised. If only I would've brought my camera.......oh well.

Other interesting sightings in this area included:
Red-shouldered Hawk - 1 bird perched along Hwy. 402 at km marker 78
Bald Eagle - 1 adult

We saw this Baldy only a few minutes after the Golden! Not too bad to get both eagles in the winter in such close proximity (both time and distance wise).

Northern Harrier - 1
American Kestrel - 3
Red-tailed Hawk - 12
Rough-legged Hawk - 11 (all light morph's)
Ring-necked Pheasant - 1
Great Black-backed Gull - 1 adult in field at Hwy. 402 and Kerwood Road
Brown-headed Cowbird - flock of ~50
Northern Shrike - 4

I'm going to be heading back to this area for the next two months for work, so I'm pretty excited that I'll see some other things.
