"GHOSTLY ENCOUNTER"
American Bald Eagle - Immature (3 Photos)
This was my first opportunity to see an American Bald Eagle so close to its maturity. Its head is almost white with still a faint mask and the tail feathers have turned white, with a brown edging. Its physical appearance is almost like a spectre, bridging two worlds. Not spirit and physical, in this case, but immature and adulthood. The third photo was taken as the eagle shook off river water from its feathers and shows, in more detail, the underlying feathers.
