All,

Friday Terry Mace and I were birding at Belfair State Park. A ranger
asked us what we were seeing and then asked if we had seen their Golden
Eagle. He said there had been a month long debate if the bird was a
juvenile Bald Eagle or a Golden Eagle. Somebody got a shot of an Adult
Bald Eagle and the bird in question together and the bird was larger
than the Adult.

I went to Belfair today to see for myself. I managed to get four very
long range shots of the bird in flight. I followed the bird into a tree
where there were eventually the Golden Eagle, a Juvenile Bald Eagle and
two Adult Bald eagles, all visible at the same time in my scope.

Very fuzzy pictures here:

Drive to the end of the parking lot. The eagles are regularly in the
trees looking east toward the highway.
