Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, October 2, 2020. It was a big bird day: a fledgling bald eagle over head. It was a little bird day: a red-breasted nuthatch in flight. Migratory update: I last saw the Kirtland’s warbler at noon on Wed. at the dam, did not see her Thursday or Friday. I have been watching palm warblers and Cape May warblers in the same area. Most likely the Kirtland’s has headed on towards the Bahamas – I hope her flight goes well!

From your beautiful photo it looks like the fledgling bald eagle is entirely black or black with some very dark brown feathers as well. Is that actually the case? Will it eventually have some more feather variation?

Bald Eagles are actually a very dark brown. The only black part of them are their talons!
You have the most feathered tweets.
