Hi,
Several aspects are wrong with this video, the first one being that the ground
has been covered in snow for at least a week here in Montreal. The second thing
is that this eagle is not a golden, the white patches on the wings does not
correspond to any stage of a young golden eagle plumage. It has been suggested
that it could be a Steppe Eagle or an hybrid, common in falconry. The child is
probably a doll, I think it's a well staged hoax!
