Tim Emmerzaal Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Seen this one this morning near a river while canoeing in Rochester, MN. At these times you wish you brought the big lens... I also noticed just now that he/she is holding one of the claws very strange (in all the photo's I took), would this be normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 A young Bald Eagle is correct. As for the claw, it might be injured. Birds can live with this, though, and I don't think you should worry about it... unless it's visibly struggling to walk or fly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Emmerzaal Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 Thanks for the confirm! I did not notice the claw until looking at the photo on the pc. It was pure curiosity but lets hope it is nothing for him/her ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Juvenile eagles often sit in the nest with both feet closed like this. Since the bird is only recently fledged, it may still have that habit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
