Eagles in Oceanside, CA?; Did I see an eagle?

It was too brief an event for me to be certain, but I thought I saw a juvenile eagle fly over my house in Oceanside, CA today.

Might have been a hawk. We have plenty of hawks here, but darn it sure looked like a juvie eagle. It didn't have any wingtags, so if it was an eagle it wasn't from Catalina.

We're near Camp Pendleton, which has plenty of wild areas (along with battle practice). We're also in a hilly area with lots of trees and a large golf course--suburbia, not the concrete jungle.

I wondered if anyone knows if eagles are in this area?

Thanks!

It could have been a young golden eagle. They look similar to young bald eagles.

Aha! Thanks!

That's pretty special too.

(Of course, I'll never know, but I'm used to seeing hawks, and this looked like an eagle.) :><:
