Golden Eagle - Clinton

While doing yardwork outside today a kettle of 6 black vultures, then a
flock of 6 ravens, followed closely by a Cooper's hawk, a red-shouldered
hawk, an immature bald eagle and a GOLDEN EAGLE.  It's always nice to add a
life bird as a yard bird.  All birds were headed WNW.
Fortunately my camera was close by, photos on ebird checklist:

Also the regulars of both ruby and golden-crowned kinglets, a
yellow-bellied sapsucker, red-tailed hawk, few white-throated sparrows,
juncos, a sharp-shinned hawk, and a brown-headed cowbird which I haven't
seen in quite a while.
