Golden Eagle 1 I saw two birds together, one most likely was a
Red-tailed Hawk. I saw that this bird was much larger. Both were at a great
distance and watched it for about 2 min. or more. By wing shape and size it
was an eagle. It banked several times so got good looks of its underside as
well as top side. Top side was all dark all over, The base of tail was
buffy. Also seen where 3 Turkey vultures and Osprey, and this GOEA was a
different shape and size. It soared with a slight dihedral.
