Subject: [southbaybirds] A possible Juvenile Golden Eagle ?
*Location:* Baylands Park, near the Picnic Area,  Sunnyvale, CA
*Date/Time:* September 6, 2025 – 10:30 a.m.

*Observation Notes:*
Two Red-tailed Hawks observed circling overhead, vocalizing. Shortly afterward, a larger raptor entered the area. Broad wings with noticeable white patches at the base of the primaries, along with overall structure and flight profile, consistent with  juvenile Golden Eagle.  What a wonderful surprise.

Please excuse the quality of the photos taken with cellphone.
