Great profile and I like the luscious habitat you included, Only seen one in Bosque and really too far for picture. Way to go!

Some have said this a juvi bald eagle. If you know for sure, please let me know.

A very nice moment captured Chas. If you check Sibley, you will find that the underwing pattern matches perfectly that of an immature bald eagle - but not that of a golden eagle. :)

A young bald eagle for sure but, whatever the species, the image is stunning.
