Dirty Bird

It isn’t really dirty, it just looks that way. This eagle is about 3 to 3½ years old and is transitioning its plumage from the varied colours of a juvenile into the dark feathers and iconic white head of an adult bald eagle. Within a year the transition should be complete.

The molt does have him looking a little scruffy. A wonderful capture.

Fabulous light on your dirty bird.

[Helge E. Storheim]

Fab shot. A shot of a "sea eagle" (white-tailed eagle) is about the only thing I have on my bucket list to photograph.

[Bucktree]

Wonderful capture of this regal bird.

Excellent shot

[Kathy]

very nice capture of the bird. I like its eyes and how they seem to focused on something in the distance. Lunch., perhaps.

Well done
