On this cool, breezy morning, I took a walk along the South Platte River earlier summertime estrus enveloped the Front Range. Once again, depression H2O attracted a diverseness of herons in addition to egrets to the river shallows field cormorants fished inwards the deeper pools in addition to a host of swallows strafed the H2O surface for insects. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 solid unit of measurement of belted kingfishers lounged along a beaver pond in addition to black-billed magpies were peculiarly noisy in addition to abundant. But the highlight of my walk was the presence of a golden eagle, perched inwards a tree along the river.
Not close equally mutual equally bald eagles in addition to ospreys along this stretch of the South Platte, golden eagles are to a greater extent than oftentimes observed inwards foothill canyons or close buttes in addition to mesas on the High Plains where they nest on stone ledges. Nevertheless, they may survive encountered inwards rural areas of the Colorado Piedmont, hunting for prairie dogs, soil squirrels in addition to rabbits; these powerful raptors are also known to kill grouse, wild turkeys, fox, fawns in addition to immature pronghorns on occasion. Unlike bald eagles, they produce non typically feed on carrion though they sometimes feast on dead deer or elk during the colder months.
Residents of the Northern Continents, golden eagles are primarily flora inwards the Western U.S.A. exactly may wander to the Eastern States inwards winter. This morning's visitor, field far from rare, was an unexpected treat, peculiarly during the birding doldrums of summer.
