Too high for me to capture a good photo. I hope these blurs enable an experienced birder to tell what was going on. My main question: is this the same bird as the juvenile Golden Eagle seen later on Trail 15, perhaps 3000 feet/a half mile away? Trail 9, 10:23 am.

The answer: this is certainly a different bird, an adult, without the white wing patches of the juvenile seen later. Confirmed by both Emily Kim and Sally Jackson, who used good binoculars to observe this bird. It clearly had no white wing patches!
