Thanks guys. It was a beautiful site to see it just cruzing the thermals without a flap of its wings for about 6 minutes.
I had thought about size and distance when I moved the binoculars onto a land mark about 1000 feet away and companied it to the size of what I thought the bird was. This is where my estimate of height came from.
My Pentax 8x42 dcf’s were struggling to resolve it, I could only make out 2 fawn patches. I enjoyed the view of our visitor as it passed by.
