Yesterday I visited the area and clicked on this bird. I've never been this close to one. It seemed to be hunting voles in a freshly plowed field. Thanks for viewing!
The only capture in pixels I've gotten of a Golden Eagle was a Nello look at Thang's GE when it visited the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary a few years back. One of these days...He's a beauty, Jim!

Thanks for sharing these wonderful shots. I can relate. I was lucky enough to have a chance encounter with one a few years ago as I drove up to Yellowstone from Denver. It makes me smile every time I think about it.
What a treat that must have been. trying to compose myself and hoping to get a few shots off before the take off can be pretty nerve wracking especially for such a special find.
