10/31/17, GWTE, Mondo Ponds; Golden Eagle, Milford Point
10/31/17, GWTE, Mondo Ponds; Golden Eagle, Milford Point. The Green-winged Teal at Mondo Ponds staying hidden with a group of Mallards on the main pond at Mondo Ponds posed an ID challenge because it is a molting male coming out of eclipse plumage. The juvenile American Golden Eagle was noticed by Frank M at Mifford Point--record photo below.
