Gullion 1949 Aquila chrysaetos -1- Aug 25 Coyote Peak, 3000 ft., Humboldt Co., Calif. - 1 bird in fine immature plumage with white under the wings and a black-tipped tail seen soaring out from the top of the hill just N of Coyote Peak. It soared out over the bald, and then turned south, moving directly down the crest-line of the Bald Hills ridge until it was finally lost to sight. Summary Northwest Coast Transit Calif - Only one bird of this species was seen on this trip. Apparently this species is not very common in this area. I would expect them to occur fairly frequently in the "Bald Hills" area which is quite extensive in the French Camp area but perhaps persecution by ranchers has greatly reduced the population.
