I can imagine a Bald Eagle looking very dark in this kind of dull winter light, especially at a distance, and flying away from you where you would not see the white head so readily. I assume you perceived it as being very large...**************************************************************** To post messages, send e-mail to: [log in to unmask] Set your e-mail application to PLAIN TEXT ONLY to post messages.

It looked like a large Raven all jet black except the white tail of an Eagle. It was flying away from me as I drove down the road and I got three pretty good looks at its back side and the very distant white tail. It seems that it must have been an Eagle but I really can’t imagine how it could have looked so jet black in any light. If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
