Default Golden eagle

I was headed for the drill yesterday and there was this young golden eagle sitting in the middle of the road. He seemed able fly only straight down the road about 2' up and in ground effect and kept flying ahead of me and landing. Finally he got a bit weary and just sat there as I pulled up beside him and took some pictures. A young one out trying out his new pilots license I guess. This is definitely the closest I've ever gotten to one in the wild. He let me pass and I went on my way... Hopefully he eventually got some headwind as was able to get above the roadside brush.
