Jshaw236 Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 So we are in South Dakota maybe an hour and half north of Rapid City. This guy was sitting on a fence post initially and then flew a bit further away. Seemed like a really big bird like as big as a turkey vulture kind of big. I can’t think of anything else it could be but a golden eagle or maybe a 2nd or 3rd year bald eagle but was wondering what some other opinions are.sorry about the crummy pic, my phone through my binoculars.....

Tony Leukering Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It's got white legs and a white forehead; it's not a Golden Eagle. Swainson's or Red-tailed hawks are your options and I'm not sure there's enough visible in the photo to make a selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 It's definitely a Swainson's with that white face. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
