For the past few days a very large raptor, possibly a Golden Eagle, has been cruising the northern end of Roads End beach. Today, I walked the beach hoping to spot it but only saw some turkey vultures and a sea lion carcass. Attached photo was taken April 14th, courtesy of local photographer, Tony Valente. An impressive bird, it is larger than a Bald Eagle. Dark brown and black. Contacted Lincoln City chapter of the Audubon Society.
