An almost adult bald eagle wants what the adult eagle has in its talons . . . a fish. Of course it's the only fish around for miles . . . Not!

Juvenile Bald Eagles have some of the most beautiful feathering as it changes from year to year while on their journey to adulthood around 5 years of age . . .

Just a touch of afternoon sun on the wings of a juvenile eagle . . .

These two juvenile eagles had recently fledged last year, and one evening I found them both perched in their nesting tree below their nest where they had spent the last 3 months. Of course they kept returning to the nest for a few weeks after this to be fed since they still hadn't learned to hunt, but it wouldn't be too much longer.
