At first I thought this might be a Golden Eagle, but after searching around a bit, I think it was actually a juvenile Bald Eagle. The main reason is because the legs don't have many feathers on them. This is one of the easiest ways to differentiate the two according to this forum post on the subject.
I love nature. These are my thoughts, experiences, and photography on birds, animals, sunsets, weather, hiking, being barefoot, and all things natural.

My wife and I saw this eagle while hiking on August 22, 2010.
