p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Is this a golden eagle?


This thing was huge, as big as a turkey vulture, which is why I thought it might have been a golden eagle. It was way up there and flying fast, so I couldn't get a high quality shot. I had to crop heavily too. Hopefully someone can comment on what this is.. it just seemed too big to be a hawk to me. I hope it is a golden eagle, that would be a first for me!

The photo was taken over Thanksgiving weekend at the Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge south of San Francisco. I am told that golden eagles are rare but have been seen there before.
