I had seen this a few years ago near Savannah Creek. About 30 birds traveling very high and very fast south down the valley. It was kind of strange to see and I didn't really know what to make of it.
Interesting to note that First Nations people trapped eagles in the spring and and it is claimed that there are 8 known sites in the Oldman River basin.
Reference the The attached Theses by Kristina Hannis (SFU). Its a really interesting read regarding the Piikani timber limit 147B in the S.W. Porcupine Hills. (eagle trapping) click on the full text PDF to read it.

Thanks for sharing the links.
I find it interesting that a young golden eagle is bigger than a mature golden eagle. Big birds.
