[cobirds] Re: ID Challenge: Which Eagle?

Yep, I concur with Michael for all of the reasons mentioned. No yellow in cere; it's in the gape. Fresh, dark plumage, not yet faded in the Colorado sun.

Hatch year recently fledged Bald Eagle. Fairly uniform dark coloration. A second year bird would have worn more variation on the chest.Eye color is a consistent dark color. Feathers on the head a uniform in color.

Hi all

Photoed this handsome and cooperative eagle in Weld County over the weekend. Thought it would offer a lively discussion for "which eagle and why?"

Three photos here: http://www.friendsofthepawneegrassland.org

Thanks Gary Lefko, Nunn
