Observation details
Adult bird seen soaring high across from overlook near a group of vultures. Viewed well in Bins and Scope. Circled for a few minutes before flying SW away from overlook. Large, all dark eagle with slight dihedral in flight. Rich dark brown coloration overall with tan/golden brown near the head and neck. There were no white markings on wings or body which would be present on juvenile Bald Eagle and larger than nearby vultures and hawks. Head was smaller in size compared to Bald Eagle with large body; buteo like proportions. Was missing tail-feathers - molting? Poor documentation photos.
