Removed 1 item from my bucket list! Thought I would need to travel some distance to find an Eagle. I learned that some had been spotted less than 20 miles from where I live. At least 2 have been spotted at the Barren River Dam Spillway in South Central Kentucky. Today was a very overcast day and I drove to the dam to scout and talk to people that regularly fish in the area. At first I did not see any and just took some photos of Gulls, then I drove back to the area where they had been spotted and saw this one across the river high in a tree. I was using my Sony A77M2 to get extra reach with the crop sensor. Also saw a few Blue Herons and witnessed one catching a fish, but my BIF skills was not good enough to get one in focus.
