and another... This is a juvenile eagle. They don't get that distinctive white head and tail till they are about 4 or 5 years old.
This is interesting, I had no idea they reach such an advanced age before developing the white head. Thanks for the incredible pictures and the great story of the species recovering in your state.

Thanks Cedrik. And today the people at Guntersville State Park asked me to be one of the speakers again next year for their Eagle Awareness program 2020.
