Went for a drive on Friday, to get try and get pictures of some mule deer. Took these and had to share. This Golden Eagle is owning this dead coyote. Not even the 2 Bald Eagles there were getting a bite..

Wonder if the coyote got "sniped" or if the eagle nailed him.

Cool photos

I didn't realize Goldens were that much bigger than Bald Eagles...nice to see standing side by side.

Not sure thats even a mature Golden. You get a mature bird with "mane" they are HUGE

This was about 150-200 yards from a farm house. With another house about 300 yards to the right and behind. So could have been either a farmer shot it or the eagle took it. There was 5 or 6 Bald eagles and 3 or 4 Golden eagles all in the same area... at least 2 of the Goldens and 1 Bald eagle were juveniles.
And whether that is a full grown Golden or not, those Bald eagles were not messing with it.... not even to snag one morsel of yote...

Very cool pics! Love them big *censored*s! Whats funny though, is I always thought Goldens were bigger too...but if you look at the max sized listed in all the bird books, they are virtually the same, but the Bald is commonly listed slightly bigger... 30-40 inches in length with 7 foot wing spans for each.

Thanks guys. I am trying to figure out a way to acquire a better lens. Would have made those eagles look a lot better.

I have tangled with golden eagles. It wasn't fun at all. Lots of blood and none of it from them. The holes have healed up over the years.
