Golden Eagle
« on: December 15, 2007, 11:44:18 PM »
  These pictures were taken with my homemade trail camera. The camera is a Sony DSC-W55 7.2 megapixel. Pics were taken in the Blue Mountain foothills in eastern Washington. Camera was set up over a whitetail deer carcass.

  Billy, It cost about $240 to build this camera. I have just finished my fourth one. Pix Universal Controller Board and pelican 1060 micro case. You cannot buy a camera like this, you have to build it. I will post pics of the camera itself tomorrow, and more pics from the field later on.

  My camera is averaging about 450 pics of the eagles every day. My camera battery is dead then. My low is 432, and the high is 479. I will post some of the better ones. Here is one from today. There are five eagles now.  This camera is three miles from our house. I have to check it daily to change the battery. If this continues, by Sunday, I will have over 5,000 pics of the eagles. The eagles are getting accustomed to me showing up to check the camera. They don't fly away any more. They just fly up and perch in a tree and wait until I leave.

I hunt/fish the area that you live and I have seen eagles on several occasions. My question is, how do I determine the difference between a Golden Eagle and an immature Baldy? I always thought that an immature baldy looked similar to an adult Goldie...Maybe I have seen more Goldies than I thought.
