I was going through the Osprey Day pictures and came across these. I wasn't really sure what they were until I realized that the talons are yellow. Not the greatest pictures - they're ppretty severe crops - but how often do you get to see an immature bald eagle? So here they are...

Scott,

I'm so glad you got some great pics of this guy!

They look this for about 4 or 5 years I understand.. this one seems to be missing some primarys as well.

Great shots.. the last one is superb!

CDS, check through your images - I think you got some of this guy, too. I think it was "that gull that kept fooling us" but maybe he fooled you too well? :)

I was suprised when I came across these - I had already gone through the images twice - the delete run and the keeper run. I was going through the final trash run when I decided to take a closer look at this one.

Well, when are you going to come up for a visit? Try to plan for something in the fall during migration - we've got a bunch of hot spots up here. CDS and I will take you around and guarantee a good time.

Good thing you didn't delete them. I like the 3rd one the best ... fantastic capture of an awesome creature.
