Hello Fellow Hawk-watchers and bird enthusiast! My name is Mike Dransfield and I live in Sweet Springs Valley within site of the tower. Wednesday, March the 12th while feeding my cattle I noticed a large bird diving for ducks on our creek. On closer observation I noticed it had white on the tail, when I looked at it through my binoculars I could tell it also had white on it's head. It flew in the field about 20 yards from the creek where I got a very good look at it unfortunately a bunch of crows dived on it and chased it off where it flew right by me - it was a bald eagle!!!!!! Today - March 15th - at approx. 5:00 p.m. I saw another large bird coming up the valley it lit in an old locust tree approx. 50 yards from me and I could tell this ALSO was a BALD EAGLE! Much to my amazement another one followed - 2 BALD EAGLES!!! The first eagle flew out of the tree and they started circling above together and flew over our home where my w! ife was able to capture the attached photos. This has been and EXCITING WEEK!!!! Enjoy the photos and HAPPY RAPTOR WATCHING.
