We report new sightings of Golden Eagle for 3 consecutive years (2007-2010) at 2 localities of the Sierra El Mechudo (El Saucito and Tarabillas), Baja California Sur. These sightings were recorded with camera traps and by direct observation. Most recent records from BCS are for the Sierra de la Laguna in 2000. At least 4 different individuals, both juveniles and adults, have been recorded. The importance of these new sightings is that for the first time we registered Golden Eagles infresh water wetlands.
