As a committed birder I'm envious. In my part of Louisiana one or two
eagles gets us out to see, much less a hundred. By the way adult male
and female eagles have identical plumage. What you were seeing were
adults and juveniles Bald eagles. It is possible some of the darker
birds were Golden eagles. I'd recommend Peterson's Field guides to the
birds and the National Geographic Field Guide to the Birds of North
America. Be carful birding can be catching and you'll start
accumulating binoculars and spotting scopes to go with your Oly gear.
