Observation details
Saw large dark bird traveling on ridge line with wings cocked and traveling in straight line along ridge. Its flight behavior seemed to not indicate TUVU. Took a couple photos zoomed to end of range, to further zoom later. After looking at photo zoomed in on camera, I could make out slightly browner head/neck and a raptor like beak ruling our Raven. I have not seen any subadult balds in area recently just adults, so I was left with identifying as GOEA. No vocalizations that I heard. It was very far away. I’m guessing on the ID a little. Will change if needed. Bad Photos. Flagged rare/unreported. . (Updated)Having it not confirmed as Golden Eagle, sighting changed to Golden/ Bald Eagle to reflect a more accurate sighting.
