The adult Bald Eagle is mainly brown with a white head and tail. The sexes are identical in plumage, but females are larger than males. The beak is large and hooked. The plumage of the immature is brown. Bald Eagles are not actually bald; the name derives from the older meaning of the word, “white headed”.
In the late 20th century the Bald Eagle was on the brink of extirpation in the continental United States, while flourishing in much of Alaska and Canada. Populations recovered and stabilized, so the species was removed from the U.S. federal government’s list of endangered species and transferred to the list of threatened species on July 12, 1995, and it was removed from the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife in the Lower 48 States on June 28, 2007.
i’d be in 7th heaven to sit and take pics of these beautiful birds looks like several juveniles in tow , i think i’d call this one Eagle Landscape…just because there are so many of them
Wow,…..what a wonderful panoramic view of a large gathering of Bald Eagles on the beach feeding. It’s interesting to note that all but one of the eagles are facing in the same direction. lol Great exposure and depth of color to show off the feather detailing of the eagles. Great work Kirk! : )
