Not sure if this is a fledgling Bald Eagle?? It flew over our camp Saturday Morning and I was just able to react. Hoping someone knows if this a fledgling or some other type of Eagle. Not the best shot, but all I had time to get, Thanks.

It looks to me like a Juvenal, the bald eagle does not get its black and white coloring until its 5 years old. So even though its full size, the color just hasnt changed yet.

Just a couple more juveniles to compare with. I live on a river here and have them year round.

Looks like 1-2 year Bald Eagle. Have been watching several this year and he looks like the ones in our area.

I agree, an imature Bald Eagle, second or third year. Bald Eagles have a much larger beak than the Golden.

That's beautiful, I think someone just asked, buy what kind of camera and lens are you using to get these excellent pics?

I was going to say bald eagle for 2 reasons. It looks like a bunch of bald eagle juvies that I have taken shots of, but the BIG reason is, cause we don't have goldens in Fl.

Nice capture though!!

It's rare, but we sometimes have Golden Eagles in FL. There is one currently on the St. Marks NWR.
