Seeing a Golden Eagle is a pretty rare thing for me. When I first started to see bald eagles I would mistake juvenile balds for goldens, but nowadays I am pretty familiar with the differences in their markings.
The eagle count at Blackwater Refuge this year had 7. I got this golden eagle there a little over a year ago.
Golden eagles are basically huge, and can prey on things that are also surprisingly large. Check out this short clip of a deer falling prey:
And see this image from a nest with a feast of foxes (some with radio collars):
Here's a much longer video, that is almost too crazy to believe, but I think it is real and just shows how powerful the golden eagle is.

Great Blue Heron Video
I just figured out why previous videos weren't filling the frame when I did the edit (adding images auto selected 4:3 aspect ratio even when video was 16:9, and then when the two were mixed neither filled the frame.).... Edit done in Windows Movie Maker, captured with D300s.
I tried to change the aspect ratio on an existing Movie Maker project's images and it hung the app. So, the below video is a re-do on a movie I was trying to make. It actually took me a few tries to make a project from scratch that behaved correctly, in the end I made a new project, changed the image aspect ratio without any files or clips added, saved that, then closed MM and opened my project fresh and it worked.
One of the things mentioned in a recent This Week in Photography podcast episode was when shooting video not to pan around and chase the action like you might for still images. But instead setup the video camera and let the action happen inside the frame.
For this footage that's just what I'd done, setup the camera and let stuff happen without moving around.
