Golden Eagle
15 December 1988 Zuni Indian Reservation McKinley Co New Mexico
2:38pm spotted immature soaring over pond
on NE side of town before Blackrock.
2 Ravens were flying within 15' of the Eagle
The one Raven I observed pulled its
legs away from the tail as if it were
gong to parachute down onto the eagle
but in reality it only dropped to win
6-8'. The Golden Eagle was early
identified as immature by distinct white
tail band and ~3" from dark tip and white
windows on underside quips.
