p.1 #1 · Raptor ID please

Need a little help in identifying this guy. Sorry for the poor shot. He was so far up this power wire structure my neck hurts from craning up at him

I think its a golden eagle, but I'm not sure. It never left this perch so this was as much as I could get to show you guys. If it is then its my first, and nowhere near as good as Thangs first GE!

Thanks guys!! No where near as nice as Thangs. Grr... but oh well. You guys are the greatest.

@hnilson: A salmon?!?

@Tim: Thanks Tim

@Lil: The head color is not right? I'm guessing a juvi maybe then? He was very very large.

Thanks for the info, Conrad. That's what I thought, just wanted to make sure

. I saw a similar looking bird on Marsh Road the other day. Thought it was a Golden Eagle, but it turned out to be a Dark-Phased Red-Tailed Hawk (see below)
