Bitzgirl7 7 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Took these far away pics were taken 2 days ago at our camp in West Quebec. These two took to aerial combat for 10 minutes or so. Cathie and I disagree on whether they are bald, golden, both or neither. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Bird Nuts 4,261 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Both are young Bald Eagles. A Golden wouldn't have that much white mottling on the underwing coverts, especially close to the body like that. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jerry Friedman 470 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 (edited) I'd say that with white on the wing linings and the tail only a little longer than the head and neck (and bill), they're Bald Eagles. Edit: Hm, why didn't I see TBN's response just a minute ago when I was writing mine? Edited September 17, 2019 by Jerry Friedman 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 2,279 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 In the first pic, the top right bird is a juvenile, while the other is a one-year-old. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
