One had a trout. The bird(s) may have come from Briones reservoir near Orinda ... there's a bald eagle nest there and it's not far ... as the bald eagle flies. /Gary Sean: Yours is the 4th report of a bald eagle seen at lake Herman.

The characteristic white head and all white tail is not seen in Bald Eagles until they hit their 5th year. Here's a great chart to help you better differentiate between the two species: http://www.friendsofthebosque.org/articles/Identifying_the_Sub-Adult_B.pdf Many people mistake immature Bald Eagles for Golden Eagles.

I swear - the wing span must have been 4 feet. I saw the shadow first - then saw it fly overhead, and land in a tree. Nice yellow talons, a golden brown color, black and white tail feathers. I think it was a male. By far, the biggest raptor I have ever seen. Golden Eagle sighting in Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill boarder. I swear – the wing span must have been 4 feet.

They were on the same tree, different branches, in southern Oregon. I have a close up photo of the golden I could send if you let me know an e-mail address.

The immature golden eagle has a white band at the base of its tail feathers. Hope this helps. I suppose the immature bald eagle could fall into the "light colored tail" category. /Gary Mike:
