Great start to 2009 and Happy New Year everyone.

Resin ... I am envious. I don't have many more than 70 birds on my entire life list. Now I know why you're such an expert on identifying our feathered friends. And, as always, thank you for your help in identifying them when I'm clueless.

To start off the new year, I added this one (a golden eagle) to my list. I've seen them in zoos; but this was my first sighting in the wild.
