Bald Eagle (juvi) (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)

While driving around a local reservoir looking for ducks, came across this juvi near the waters edge at one of the pull offs. From the way it is starting to get the white head and tail but is still mottled I think this is probably a 4th year bird.

Don't know that I've ever seen an Osprey at this stage of growth. Well done Ken!
