Was super excited to see your picture this morning! LOVE it! Anyway. My first thought was an eagle. I tried to zoom in on the photo but it became very pixilaed. You said the underside of the winds were white. Thus is the situation for both Bald and Golden eagles when they are juvies. Very easily confused. Did you see him in flight? If you look in a bird book at them in flight you can see how their “white windows” appear in slightly different areas. The banding on the tail makes sense as well. And the golden coloration of head (rather than brown/grey) makes me think Golden. Check it out..maybe it is an eagle? Maybe not. Great photo either way! 🙂 Thats for sharing!
Not NEARLY as knowledgeable as Alissa above, but my first thought as well was it is an Eagle….Head and Beak are much bigger than the average hawk, but the tail feathers look a bit like a hawk…yet the under-wing colorations you described made me again think Eagle!?!…..but I have been wrong 3 or 4 times today already…..regardless….You were certainly Blessed either way….Great Shot, and again we are thankful for your “View” on things….Lucky guy…..!!!

View 3,000 Photos Back to 12-15-2001!
• FotoFeed features almost 3,000 images, and you can view almost ALL of them sequentially, backwards or forwards . The current WordPress site goes back to June 14, 2009. On that page is a link to the last page of the preceding site, which goes all the way back to December 15, 2001.
• To see all photos starting from the present, just hit the "Previous Entries" or "Previous Post" links and work your way back.
• Unfortunately, you can't go forward from the oldest page (12-1-2001). But you can go from forward starting from January 5, 2006. From the preceding page, however, you can only go backwards to the beginning. Confusing, I know.
• The Photos by Category, Archives, and Search FotoFeed menus [right] only apply to the current site, going back to June 14, 2009, but you can find all kinds of interesting things.
• You can also use the Sitemap pages to search for photos at the current site by category and titles in a list format. Try it!
