Golden Eagle |

From Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife & Fish Refuge:

These majestic birds have been spotted on the Refuge in the Wabasha area. They are distinguished by buff or golden plumage on the nape of their necks and under their tails. Mammals and birds are Golden Eagles’ primary food which they hunt mostly from the air, and often in spectacular dives called stoops.
