They don't get the distinctive white head until 4-5 years old. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 12/1/2009 at 9:42 AM At 8:00 this morning as I traveled towards Singletary Lake, just rounding the little corner with S&D Spinning pond on my right, I saw a huge bird atop the tall pines next to the road near the former Harris Oil complex. Other cars were stopping to see the creature, it was that big. Not being an expert, I at first rejected it as a bald eagle, but when I got home I looked at my field guide and did some Googling. I'm now pretty convinced the bird was an immature bald eagle, and have sent some pictures off to a couple knowledgeable birders for a better ID. -Edd
