"i wonder if the author has ever seen a golden eagle up close?...i have. I was hiking on the southern ute reservation outside of durango, co..."

When I was stationed at Ft. Riley, KS I had a '66 MGB...tiny little car. During the winter/spring timeframe, a large number of bald eagles drift into the Milford Lake area which is a large man-made lake to the northwest of the installation and eagles are not an uncommon sight during that time of year. One unseasonably warm spring day, I was driving through the backroads of post and saw a huge bald eagle shadowing my car. He followed me all the way off post to the town of Ogden...While I had no reason to believe he'd try to attack, I am fairly certain that he came to that conclusion only after giving me a good sizing up.

I remember the MGB being a small car, but so small an eagle thought he could take one???
