    Details

    Soaring over Shoveler Pond. I noticed the bird when a large flock of Spoonbills, Black-bellied Whistling-ducks (among others) were startled by the eagle's presence and took flight. Large eagle, overall dark plumage throughout body, head, and wings, light patches on the wings, light areas with bars noted on the P1-P3 primary feathers. The tail is bicolored with a clear line of demarcation between the white base and broad dark terminal band. No indication of mottled feathers on the tail. The head is smaller in proportion to the length of the tail. The tip of the bill does not appear to be the bright yellow found on maturing and adult Bald Eagles. No indication of mottling on the head or chest. There is an indication of a curve in the secondary wing feathers. I was unable to determine where on the leg the feathers terminated. I have posted photos to supplement these details.
