I circled the area in the first picture and to me it looks like part of the head. The last two pictures were taken from the same distance and one was flipped to see if the heads are the same size. Thanks for the responses and here are pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

amnight Valued Member United States 332 Posts	Posted 06/20/2014 12:03 am Thanks for your response coop. I'm not understanding the difference between being "struck through" and being a "dropped device". I've read on error-ref.com about this type of error and wanted to know if you are saying that it is just struck through debris and not the eagle's head. Thanks in advance for educating me.
