Fantastic. What magic to get so much time with them and such great looks. Definitely a tough one to find in western PA

Yes, it was an amazing opportunity. Golden eagles are generally hard to get in NY outside of the migration. To have them as winter residents in a reliable location is a dream come true. I will be heading over there yearly from now on.

I haven't seen one for a few years, so this was a real treat!

I've never seen one; I wanted to go this weekend but it didn't work out. Great shots, just would have been nice to get a little closer.

Yes, I waited an hour to get another chance at it flying by but no luck. It was still an amazing experience!

What a beautiful golden eagle. Huge. How wide is their wingspan?

Silas Wareham's avatar

Golden eagle wingspans typically measure between 72 and 86 inches (6 to 7.2 feet), but apparently can reach up to 100 inches!
