Observation details

Noticed a large raptor flying low over the meadow, flushing up ducks as it passed. It landed in a snag and perched for a few minutes before flying to a different perch. Shortly after it took flight, kettling a bit above the meadow before disappearing to the south. Large brown eagle, white tail with bold black terminal band, some white mottling on the back when perched. Obvious golden nape with dark face and smaller bill in comparison to Bald Eagle. In flight, obvious white patches near the center of the underwings were visible. My first for Sullivan County.
