P1380225.JPG Golden Eagle. (Aguila chrysaetos.)

My wife and I found this Golden Eagle on a power pole in the high desert south of our town. I dislike birding by vehicle, but she likes a drive, so I went out there with her. One of my only series of a Golden Eagle, though if one does this, they are not hard to locate, as are many other Raptors.
