**Great news from the Tantramar marsh, a GOLDEN EAGLE is being spotted.  Louise Nichols spotted it on Tuesday and Jason Gallant spotted it on Monday.  Louise saw it on the ground at first not too far from the High Marsh Rd. close to the Carter Cross Rd.  It lifted off as she got closer and circled the area.  Louise  got what photographs she was able, to verify it.  Louise captured the slight dihedral the golden eagle has that the bald eagle does not tend to show.  Louise comments that there is still lots of activity on the marsh with RED-TAILED HAWKS and ROUGH-LEGGED HAWKS.
