A golden eagle was soaring over Lindsay Lake (2 km north of Opinicon Road, accessible via the Lindsay Lake Trail) at 4 pm today. This may be the same bird that has been seen along Opinicon Road periodically since Feb 23. The eagle has been seen most frequently in the vicinity of the small cemetery on Opinicon Road. There are many bald eagles in the area too.
