Tim Emmerzaal 63 Posted July 5 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
akandula 2,295 Posted July 5 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tim Emmerzaal 63 Posted July 5 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 1,138 Posted July 8 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
