  I believe that "400 m/f pairs" figure was for the lower 48. One reason they didn't die out completely is there were still thousands of them in Alaska (not to mention Canada). If these feathers are the wrong shape for eagle could they be condor? They look pretty big for plain old vulture....

  #110 No condors in Seattle (vultures stay farther inland) and there are 2 pairs of baldies nesting near by.... BTW, No other bird in the coastal PNW has the bulk to support that quill. Those are bald eagle feathers...I've been a bird watcher for decades. #115 Nicely put, well written. My dilemma exactly. Nothing makes you more honest that the threat of complete financial annihilation!...
