Juvenile bald eagle or osprey? by pamknowler

Juvenile bald eagle or osprey?

Help with ID please. When I saw a juvenile bald eagle the other day he was dark brown. This bird seems to have patches of white on his wings so I am not sure what he is. It was wonderful to watch him flying along the water and then land in a tree beside an adult bald eagle - definite ID with the white head and tail. Would an osprey land near and eagle?

As you can see a miracle has happened and my laptop has come back to life!! I had to do a safe startup and then I was asked to update some software. I have no idea what was wrong but am thankful it seems to be ok at the moment!!
Nice shots. Doesn't look like an osprey to me.

I must interject that Ken is not only a most obliging chauffeur to Pam and me, but he's quite tech savvey and knew just what to try in the hope of getting Pam's computer (and mine, on occasion!) up and running again! I'd be hopeless without his helping hand! I might add that he was also the first to spot the birds in flight and found a place to stop for us...we had a lot of good opportunities to capture these eagles, blue herons and deer as well! Topping off the opportunity so get wonderful photos like this we returned home and he helped me make a batch of cookies! Another good day for the three of us!

I rarely see either (in fact have never seen a bald eagle in person). Gorgeous!
