Photograph of a juvenile American bald eagle flying against a blue sky with an out of focus adult bald eagle flying in the background. The view is from below, so the underside of each eagle is visible. The juvenile is in the right frame and is flying to the right in profile with its wings extended to its right and left. The adult eagle is in the upper left frame and is flying to the left with its left wing extended upward and its right wing extended downward. Bald eagles have brown body feathers, white head and tail feathers, clear light yellow-green eyes with large pupils, yellow-orange beaks that curve downward to a point, yellow-orange legs, and yellow-orange feet that end in sharp black talons. Juvenile eagles take 4-5 years to acquire their adult feathers. During that transition time the eagle's feathers begin brown and then become mottled brown and white prior to the adult stage with a white head and tail as well as a brown body. In addition to the mottled feathers this juvenile still has a mostly black beak indicating that it may be 1-2 yrs old.
