Bald eagle

Bald eagle

Haliaeetus leucocephalus

 

This is "blondie", a leucistic bald eagle. Leucism is similar to albinism except where albinism is complete lack of pigmentation, leucism is partial loss of pigmentation. A happenchance meeting with a fantastic birder, Charlotte, led to me finally meeting Blondie.
