[cobirds] Golden Eagle X 2; El Paso County

On a drive down to Colorado Springs from Woodland Park, along Hwy 24, my wife and I first had one golden eagle fly over at Green Mtn Falls.

 

Then a second flew over above Manitou Springs. Both mature adults.

 

Is there a movement underway? It is rare to see one along this stretch of highway, let alone two about 7 miles apart.

 

Do these birds ‘move’ seasonally? Altitudinally? From alpine tundra to plains?
