Nicely done! Here in FL folks are frequently misidentifying young balds as golden. Goldens are extremely rare in FL. Also: here's a fine point. Juvy flight feathers are longer & pointed. It takes 2 years to completely molt those feathers. Replacements are shorter & blunt giving the wings of birds in their 2nd year a sawtooth appearance. This is clealy visible in one of your photos. Again, very well done. Peace.

I have been seeing an albino bald eagle in Missouri-when I first spotted it it was pale with a fully white head but the second time I spotted it I got a better look and it appeared caramel bodied with a white head. I thought maybe age made it darker (?) but maybe it was just the lighting outside. IDK since it surely was a mature adult if the head was white...but maybe the head was already fully white as an albino (?) Who knows. Anyway it was just days after someone had posted a pic of one online -so glad because it helped me ID it-I might have doubted what I was seeing lol!

These are extremely well done! We would consider ourselves intermediate birders, and do spend quite a bit of time birding in Southeastern Pennsylvania, northern Delaware, and northern Maryland. We look forward to seeing all in the series!

I love seeing Bald Eagles --- especially when they have both white head and tail, but I think the Golden Eagle is more beautiful and stately.

Both are good looking birds for sure!

I *may* have seen a golden eagle in Milwaukee recently. I notice they somewhat look like a vulture in profile but definitely flap more. I'm very familiar with vultures and it certainty wasn't one. I thought maybe immature bald eagle but it wasn't clicking with me.

I saw an eagle! Saw it twice this week… much to my surprise it might actually be a golden based on the V shape on the wings while soaring. Sadly the sun has made it look like it’s all black

I just saw a bald eagle today. A turkey vulture was just gliding and beside I thought they were starling. But when I looked closely. I saw a white head. flat wings. And big head. And an m shape. But all black

You can tell a Turkey Vulture a mile away from their constant " tipping " in flight. I guess to catch any helpful air currents.

problem with this is its only if they are over head. im in so mn and saw a young golden it had the white wing patches as shown here that was a few weeks ago. i came upon some road kill with 4 eagles, there 2 adult balds and a mottled young one they were waiting there turn. there was a mostly dark bird that i could not tell if it was a young bald or a golden. will the adults let a young one feed while they wait?

Most of these tips were for soaring birds, anyone have tips for perched birds? I'm a new birder. Thanks!

Bald eagles sloppy opportunists. Goldens are sleek always impressive

Neither eagle is actually BALD or GOLDEN but stupid people had to name them that way.
