I was looking for migrants on Mt. Pleasant from 1145 till 1345 today. A little slow, but a flock of 60 AMER. PIPITS flew over low. About 1300, I spied 2 large, dark birds way to the east. Both in the same field of view briefly. I picked one to follow with the scope and determined, mostly by its slight dihedral, that it was a GOLDEN EAGLE (somewhat early). I did not refind the other, but I'm sure it was an EAGLE also, species undetermined. Seemed like a good day for TURKEY VULTURES, but I saw only 8. Steve FastBrooktondale --
