Linda watched a 'too big to be a hawk' raptor land in a filed west of the road. I did a U-turn at Tilton Ave. We parked on the shoulder of the road near the field where the raptor landed. It was still there sitting on a ground squirrel. It was a Golden Eagle not more than 50 ft. from the road. It sat there for several minutes, then began walking up the hill clutching the squirrel in its right talons. It was quite amusing watching it walk. It looked like was wearing a huge furry slipper on one foot! it went about 50 yards up the hill away from the road, stopping occasionally to look around. Finally it flew to the south,low to the ground, parallel to the road; landing in the shadow of a bank in the hillside. There it began to eat its dinner. We kept wondering why it didn't just fly away, why the walking. Nevertheless, quite a wonderful way to end a Sunday afternoon after a day visit to Mt. Madonna County park.
