Home Sweet Home

I just moved to this great new farm house 2 months ago, and in the last two weeks I have been seeing these rather large birds soaring around my house and barns every day.

Being concerned for my two dogs, I decided to make some calls and investigate these birds. They both are a golden brown color with a golden yellow beak.

Someone came out to get a better look and help to identify what I was dealing with.

It turns out that two Golden Eagles have decided to make a nest in the upper open abandoned barn outside in my backyard.

It's quite amazing to watch them fly, dive, and soar having never seen them before.
