Seeing the eagle thread jogged my memory about a question I wanted to ask a long time ago!
When we visited my family on the Eastern Shore a few months ago there were several bald eagles out in their field, and an even larger brown bird that they are calling a 'Golden Eagle'. The birding books we looked at all indicated that these are smaller than the Bald Eagle, but the one we saw there was definitely larger. Is it maybe something else? |

Might have been an immature bald eagle as these still have the brown face feathering.
They can appear larger than the adults if they're closer or fluffed up.

Golden eagles are pretty big... could have been what hava said or could have been a golden, Golden Eagle - baldeagleinfo.com havalotta> check this out, Eagle Flight and Other Myths Eagles Don’t Eat Children or Pets, "Jacobson said an immature eagle is most likely to swoop down on something inappropriate, like a large dog on the beach. People then overreact and claim that eagles are hunting dogs. “It gets exaggerated” he said. “Eagles don’t hunt cats and small dogs." but wait a minute... "David Hunsaker once found a cat collar in an eagle nest" and "The cat collar was funny,” he said. “It had a bell attached to warn birds. It was still buckled."

Nice addition... I watched an Eagle swimming to shore with its wings...It's really quite something.

![]() ![]() This is a juvenile wading upon a log in the Menominee river. ![]() The one in flight is an adult as you can see by its white head. ![]() This photo shows the size comparison of an eagle verses its nest. If you look in the very center of the nest you will see the eagle.
