Juvenile Bald Eagle

Previous photograph Back to the gallery page Next photograph

This young bird was photographed a short drive from our home. It was a cold and windy day and you can see that he has ruffled his feathers out to keep warm. The wind is dislodging the feathers at the wrist point (it looks like the bird's shoulder) of the wing facing the camera.

The camera recorded the following information in the original image file:
