I saw a Juvenile Golden Eagle today at 12.00pm in Yarrow - as close as 7 meters distance - 500m north of Yarrow Central Rd. and 500 meters west of No.3 Rd across from Reimer's Nurseries. It was followed by an upset Red tailed Hawk and started to fly off in smooth circles towards Boundary Rd. and No.4 Rd. I should add that the Eagle circled over us for about 5 minutes - gaining elevation slowly from about 5 meters to 30 meters - before it circled westward towards Boundary Rd. Weather condition: sunny and bright blue sky
