What a gorgeous Sub-Adult Eagle graced us with their presence today!
The visitor was very interested in the sticks and inspected the camera.
The trailing edge of the wing looks smooth, without any retained juvenile secondaries. This suggests the bird molted at least twice - hatched in 2020 or earlier.
