Poetry in Motion...

A Juvenile Bald Eagle springing into action on beautiful Lake Ogallala in Western Nebraska. The fishing and the weather were good on this particular day in January.

 

Bald Eagles have a length of 29-35 inches and weigh 7-14 pounds. Their wing span is around 7 feet. A immature or Juvenile Bald Eagle will have mottled brown and white feathers under its wings and on its head, tail, back and breast. At 4-5 years of age, bald eagles become mature and develop the distinguishing characteristics of dark brown body feathers, white head and tail and yellow eyes, feet and beak. Females are larger than males.
