Thank you very much for sharing your experience with The Peak. Wow. I am going to have to do some golden eagle research. Editor

My home is the highest home on the ridge line bordering the Coronado National Forest in Oro Valley. The eagles have appeared for the last 3 days. The first day I only saw one and then yesterday there were 6 and today there were two. I watched them from my porch and they arrived in the morning and it was an incredible sight. They just glided on the wind and then they flew over my backyard pool and up over the mountain. Is it normal for 6 golden eagles to appear together? I thought that being birds of prey, they may be solitary hunters. Is the extreme heat bringing them closer to residential areas in search of a water source and prey? I have pictures and a video that I took of the 6 golden eagles. The quality is not very good but it captures their magnificence in flight. Thank you.

Thank you for your comment. I had a telephone conversation this past week with “Sam” Fox one of the founders of Wild At Heart and the organization that sponsored the article. Sme mentioned that they have had a golden eagle for years. They rehabilitated it but it cannot ever be released because of its injuries. She was telling me that every year they have to get a license from the state to keep the eagle. Quite a bit of paperwork involved on top of taking care of more than 500 rescued and rehabilitating owls, hawks, and other raptors. I will tell them about your comment. You might want to checkout their Facebook page and website. They are very close to us in Cave Creek.

This gigantic raptor, took off from the grass median between the divided highway. I was going 70 mph in the RAV4 and it was moving low and slow, maybe with prey. I thought it hit the windshield on the passenger side, putting a large bowl in the window and spraying glass shards everywhere. It actually hit the front bumper and rode up the hood leaving a trail of blood, guts and feathers. I was wearing sunglasses and my passenger was covered in glass. Never found the carcus as the grass on the side of the road was 3 feet high and I did not think to look in the rear view mirror. The policeman who stopped us shortly thereafter said it was probably a hawk, but I saw it only 4 feet away from me, it looked exactly like your pictures. It was not a hawk or owl or vulture, it was as big as a canadian goose and it was a very majestic looking golden eagle. I will save some DNA to perhaps have it tested
