Interesting. The first year I lived in Maine I saw what I later decided must be a golden eagle. However, the bird books I looked at seemed to suggest there were none of these in Maine. That was also what I found out in talking to "experts" but if what I saw was not a golden then I could not come up with an alternative ID.
Many thanks for sharing this link...interesting, never thought of them being a northeastern species.
