Field notes
What to look for
A huge dark-brown eagle with a golden nape, a smaller head than a bald eagle and a long tail; soars with a slight dihedral.
Where
Foothills, mountain ridges and prairie coulees; a spectacular migration along the front ranges near Canmore each spring and fall.
When
Year-round in the west; migration peaks in March and October.
Tips
Feathered legs, golden head and a neat white patch at the base of the tail in young birds. Bald eagle juveniles have a bigger bill and messier white.
