Chris,
The juvenile golden eagle has very pronounced black and white tail
feathers with the black toward the tip and the white toward the rump. The
under wing coloration has a triangle shape in the middle of each wing with
other white splotches. The top of the wings are brown.Your description
defiantly sounds like a juvenile golden. Lucky you.

When letting the dog out a large raptor, clearly an eagle was soaring east
into summit county. Very broad wings, large head led me to suspect a juv
bald eagle, until I got the binoculars on it and saw clear white on the
rump an base of the tail, the bird did not have the white portions on the
bases of the primaries. I could not distinguish the nape color. Do juv bald
eagles ever present such a large, clean white rump/base of tail feathers while
such a uniform clean upper side of the wing? I did not get the see the
underwing, as I live on a rather large hill, and saw the top side of the wing
as the bird was turning and flying downhill. It was very low.
