Anyone else spot a solo eagle laboriously winging NW over Eden Prairie about 
3:30 this afternoon?  I got off westbound MN-5 at Mitchell Road (60) and 
watched it with my bino as it caught up to me and then flew out of sight to the 
NW.  It looked like a "flying wing" with a small head. The young eagle, 
flapping constantly, just didn't look -- "feel" --  like an immature Bald; and 
when it turned slightly into the sun, I could see its nape and head was a solid 
light tawny color.  There were clean white patches underneath, but I thought 
they were too close to the body for it to be a Golden Eagle.  That said, it 
sure looked like one in every other way.

Feel confident I had a Golden in Hennepin today.
