Nice captures, I am assuming the light was getting low? Giving the color cast?

Referring primarily to the heads not being pure white.

OK. Just looked odd. Have never seen eagles in person, only in photos.

On my monitor there is a definite warm cast to the light in these pictures. It is probably due to the low angle of the early morning light. Bald Eagles do not have breeding and non-breeding plumage. Once they achieve their adult plumage, in about 4 to 5 years, they look the same, year round.

Neat photos!
