Amateur question to the master.
Is it really a longer wingspan compared to the adults or a slightly smaller body fooling the eye?

Wait. Did I just answer my own question? The wingspan doesn't get smaller, does it? So they grow into it?

When Bald eagles reach maturity (4-5years) their muscles and tendons shorten up,the result is a shorter wingspan.
Thanks, Ivan.

They were after fishes in a creek. I was located on a hump overlooking the rapids shooting down toward the opposite shore.Thanks, Ivan.

That's a perspective we don't get to see very often. The top of birds in flight. Thank you for sharing them. Great as usual.
