According to Sibley an adult Golden Eagle measures L 30" WS 79" WT 10 lb
and an adult Bald Eagle L 31" WS 80" WT 9.5 lb.

I was always under the impression that Goldens were a lot bigger than
Balds... mainly due to; Petersen's Field Guide to Birds.

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

Can one trust this Sibley fellow?
