| 58:42 | 1985-07-22 | Agassiz N.W.R. | Marshall | (vote 3-4). The identification as an adult Golden Eagle was based on its large size and its "entirely dark" underwings with "no white streaks or patches". It was agreed that the identification may have been correct, but the majority felt that with no direct comparison the impression of size may have been wrong, the plumage description was too brief, and that the distance involved (150 yards) and the bird's low altitude might have made it difficult to clearly see the underwing pattern. It was therefore felt that immature Bald Eagle or a melanistic Buteo might have been seen. | Not Accepted | ||||
