Who knows how many. So many eagles that they are almost a oh well in winter. About 5 years ago in March I did see a golden eagle between Iowa City and Williamsburg, that was a thrill.

I've never seen an eagle here in my area...lots of hawks and buzzards, but no eagles. How lucky you are!

Itort, I have been lucky enough to see a few bald eagles, very large owls and a California Condor in the mountains in my area and at my place of work we had 2 large flocks of green parrots, cattle egrets and one blue Haron that visits a lake in the middle of a housing tract not far from me. It must be on his migration route as he is their every year for a little while.
But I don't think I have ever seen a golden eagle that must be something to see. Especially if you are able to see them up close.

This is farthest east I've ever seen a golden. On trips west into the Dakotas, Wyoming and Montana we'd see than in the Badlands and Rockys. I even saw one snag a jackrabbit once. The rabbit never know what hit it. In our area in the summer we have plenty of herons and egrets and flocks of white pelicans. There is rumor of an eagle nest near my home but no one is telling.

Itort i know that the raptor center at lake McBride released a couple of Golden Eagles a while back. maybe it was one of those. i see them rarely around the lake, but i have seen them. they are beautiful
