West Laguna Ave, Coyote Valley

I was out hunting for an eagle today. When I arrived at Coyote Valley, I thought it was a turkey grazing in the field, but it was actually an immature golden eagle having a nice ground squirrel breakfast. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the size of the golden.
