This image of an eastern golden eagle appears in my monthly column in the current Ellsworth American. The column is about these magnificent eagles and a recently-announced opportunity for birders, hunters, landowners, trappers, and other wildlife enthusiasts in Maine to participate in a new state study of these birds.
(The image was taken at the Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge, where the bird was recovering from a wound; click on it to enlarge it.) To read the column, click here: https://www.5backroad.com/montly-column
