A Golden Eagle was found in the water several years ago off Cape Sable Island by a fishing
boat. Probably it had gone after something and was too wet to get airborne. It recovered
at CWC. So they definitely have been in your wider area.

These from December 30:
Around 10 A.M., I was driving north on Haley Road, about to pass the end of the runway at
Yarmouth Airport, when a dark-coloured heron flew over said end from north to south. Not
sure of the species.
That same day, a knowledgeable friend is sure he saw a golden eagle flying over Yarmouth.
A day later, my brother and his daughter saw what may have been the same bird flying low
over forested area, to the east of the Ellis Road in Chebogue. The area in question is
near a slaughter house.
Several years back in January, a strongly-suspected Golden was tending the same area.
One of the slaughter house workers got close enough to see feathered tarsi on the bird.
All that was missing to confirm were photos.
