Bald Eagle

Description:

Walking along Lake Roberts I found these two adult Bald Eagles sitting in a dead tree.
It takes a Bald Eagle 4 to 5 years to acquire its adult plumage where the head and tail slowly become white, the eyes gradually change from dark brown to yellow and the beak goes from blackish-gray to yellow.
