This Eastern Ratsnake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) was not seen during our field trip, It was a summer image from a few years ago, but I mention it because these two species are easily confused as they look almost the same, and seem to be combined by some people into a species known as the “Black Snake.” The ratsnake has smaller scales that are keeled (like the keel of a sailing boat). The head also appears broader and longer. They are also non-venomous and often tolerated in barns because of their predation of rodents.

A mature golden eagle is easily mistaken for an immature bald eagle, as both are brown in color. However, a golden eagle has a dark-copper-colored head and lacks the mottling of an immature bald eagle. An immature golden eagle has a distinct white band on the tail and white marks on the wings; an adult may have fewer conspicuous marks or no marks at all. This image, taken at the Delaware Valley Raptor Center, shows the adult golden eagle on the left and the longer-billed young bald eagle on the right.
