    Maybe a golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos)? Posted 12 years ago, modified 12 years ago

      Thanks for the suggestion, I think Claire correctly identified it as a Striated Caracara. The golden eagle does resemble it. Posted 12 years ago

        I think so too, but I couldn't see how big your bird was so this was another suggestion. Posted 12 years ago
