Immature Bald Eagle
I photographed this Immature Bald Eagle at Charleston City Lake in Charleston, Arkansas.
Up until its fifth year, when it reaches sexual maturity, the immature Bald Eagle’s plumage is dark brown with haphazard white striping.
The term “bald eagle” actually refers to a bird that is “white headed,” not actually bald.
