Your data doesn't seem to indicate they're all that much bigger...

Can one trust this Sibley fellow?

According to the Audubon Master Guide to Birding, Bald Eagles actually

for the Golden.

So much for perceptions... I've been up close (4 - 10 feet) to both species,
but I can't recall ever seeing them close together...

Sounds like they are very close in size...
