Young Bald Eagle

Young bald eagles do not have their classic white head feathers and are often mistaken for other birds.

Once they mature they are easy to identify.

I'm lucky to live in an area there I see many eagles every winter.

Stuart,

Watching eagles is the highlight of my winter. You know me well my friend.

Happy Holidays to you and Barbara.

Thank you, and to you, too.

Very nice. You can just see the beginnings of the white head on the neck area of the immature baldy.

The young birds are interesting to watch. Sometimes they challenge a mature bird for food or a perching spot. That can get exciting.

No need to ask who wins those matches.
