The painted wingspan on this little eagle is about 5 inches, whereas the wingspan of the golden eagle that landed on a branch outside my kitchen window was closer to 5 feet or more. That giant magnificent bird flew away from me when I went out to try to get a snapshot, and I could hear such powerful flaps from its wings as it soared away. I didn't get that snapshot so I attribute Tony Hisgett, U.K., with the photograph I used for reference here. This is the second time I've painted a golden eagle, the first time as Zeus landing near Ganymede.
