Hey All,
Hoping to find some help identifying this magnificant bird. I was able to snap a few photos, but it was tough to do against a grey/white sky on short notice... This bird soared above my head on a lonely mountain peak in northern New York (about 5000 feet above sea level) just as I reached the summit. I have seen mature Bald Eagles less than 10 miles from where the photo was taken, only they were hunting fish. This one appeared to be hunting the rocky mountain peaks. Could it be an immature Bald Eagle, or possibly a Golden Eagle? Or just a big vulture??? This is the type of thing that could get me hooked on birds...
Thanks much,
