Industry: Email Alert RSS FeedEye for an eagle
Science News, Feb 2, 2008 by Alan Ryff, Susan Milius
The photo illustrating "Hatch a Thief" (SN: 12/15/07, p. 372) does not show a golden eagle. The bill of a golden eagle is black on the outer half and pale blue at the base, and the feathers on the back of its head are bright tawny. It could be a white-tailed eagle, a very close relative of the bald eagle with a widespread range in northern Eurasia and a small population in southwestern Greenland.

The reader is correct. According to Keith Bildstein of the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania, the photo does appear to show a white-tailed eagle in adult or near-adult plumage. Unfortunately, information on locality is unavailable.-SUSAN MILIUS
