Description
A young North American Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, in Minnesota.
Young eagles have speckled brown bodies and mottled coloring on the wings, dark beaks, and obviously don't have the white heads and tails yet. This one had only recently left the nest, and wasn't yet totally confident of his flying ability a bit of downy fluff sits on his beak.
He spent some time just sitting low in a tree, grooming his new feathers, and carefully checking out his surroundings. Then he took off, heading for a nearby lake.
