Juvenile Bald Eagle

This bird was photographed yesterday morning in good light while it flew over the Ottawa River about 20 Kilometres away from where yesterday's image was taken. This is a cropped as the bird was quite far away.

Bald Eagles have started nesting in Ottawa again after being rather scarce for many years. This was the 3rd eagle that I saw over the weekend. I saw an adult and another juvenile in tree near a white-tail deer road kill but never got any photos.

Happy New Year everyone!

Interesting. With the color change on the head leaving a mask of sorts, he almost looks like a really big osprey. Nice shot.

Decent shot for being heavily cropped, Stephen. That's great you can look forward to more eagles this year ! Happy New Year to you too.
