Hi Ted, all you have to do to be a member is join us for one of our outings. The next one as far as I know is going to be in the spring down at Portal, Arizona.

Looks like a juvenile BE to me. But what do I know - - I've only seen one so that's all I can base it on that & it looks like the top predator of El Dorado park to me. And she's been see by a lot of birders who should know.....

Lil - - going back to cleaning up after the Sylmar Wildfire storms, so I don't do picks at this time....

Sorry....

Hi Roger

Size is an unreliable field mark for birds because without a close-by reference it is easy to be misjudge. In the case of the two eagle species in question, their size ranges overlap completely.

If I saw the pictured bird (nice shots) in the field, the relatively small bill and the gold on the head and neck would lead me to record a Golden Eagle.

Cheers,

Larry

Thanks Larry

With 29 years of bird watching under my belt, I would feel pretty safe identifying this as a Golden Eagle.

And yes, these are super pictures.

Thanks for the nice words about my photos and for the information.

From the results so far I am guessing most think it is a Golden.

What an amazingly beautiful bird. Against that blue sky it is even more impressive.
