Observation details
Juvenile. Large raptor with predominately white tail ending in well-defined dark terminal band. I also observed crisp white patches on the flight feathers and relatively small head with golden nape. I first noticed it pursuing a Snow Goose, which it unsuccessfully attempted to capture in flight. This is the third consecutive year that Golden Eagle has been reported at this site. Bird viewed from Pinchback Road (same location that I viewed an adult at early in 2023). Photos.
