I took these two photos in August along Lake Erie at Barcelona, NY. The bird appears to be an immature bald eagle. Am I correct?

You are very welcome! I've spent a lot of time in Alaska over the last 6-8 years. I have a brother who lives there full time. LOVE Alaska, but the winters are not my cup of tea! I guess I'll spend my life going back and forth!

My two favorite months in Alaska are October and February. I will be up there in Feb/March for about 5-6 weeks.

Thank you for the comment. I was trying out my new OM-1 with the Olympus 100-400. Still have a lot to learn about BIF but the OM-1 makes it less frustrating than the E-M1iii.

February??? February ?? I'll go with October, but February is the coldest month. And it seems like the darkest as well! Many Alaskans save up their money and go sun seeking in February!
