I have always liked juvies better than adults because their feather pattern is so beautiful. We have oodles of eagles in Cape Breton. In the winter, a local farmer feeds them chicken carcasses and fish twice a week.
This picture was taken during a feeding session.

I love to hear your comments and critiques
You couldn't ask for a much better flight pose Gail! Great detail throughout, and nice eye contact. I like the tight crop. I might tone down the brightest whites on the neck.
That's magnificent Gail! Doug's right, it doesn't get much better than that! Beautiful patterning on this juvie indeed. And I like that tight crop too. Awesome head angle. Excellent job!
Beautiful capture,Gail!I love the wing spread and fanned tail.Perfect posture!
Agree that toning down the whites will greatly enhance a very good image.
Gail, you have nailed a great flight posture here, showing an excellent wingspread and fanned tail. Nice and sharp, well exposed on the underwing, and the comp works well.
