"INDIVIDUALS ALL!"

American Bald Eagle (Mature) - 8 Photos

We do recognize people as individuals within our species. However, we should remember that individuality does not only apply to humans but to animals as well. As with people, animals have individual looks as well as personalities. 

These three mature eagles (one almost achieving its white head) have very distinct appearances. As they are  living and hunting in a relatively small area, it is a pleasure and bonus to be able to distinguish one from another with photography and understand some of their behaviours, eg. are they perching in trees looking for prey or having had a successful morning hunting, are relaxed and are in the process of grooming.

Eagle No. 3, would suspect, from its size and plumage, is a mature female eagle.
