Nice story. It’s a wonderful feeling to be responsible for reviving another life. (Plus, it inspired me to run outside and clean and refill my hummingbird feeder!)

To Taj:
Yep, it sounds like it was a bald eagle. There are a few balds nesting in Contra Costa County and they have been seen cruising around your neck of the woods before. /Gary

Gary,
On my way home from the gym this morning (Brentwood), I was startled by this awesome, large raptor looking bird flying high above me. Although I wanted to pull over, there were too many distractions. It was dark (brown or black) with a white head and all-white tail feathers. Very windy conditions did not seem to phase this beautiful creature. Larger than a hawk yet not as large as a turkey vulture. It was so beautiful. I came home and looked it up in both my Sibley’s book and online at: http://www.whatbird.com. All signs point to a bald eagle. Is it possible?
