Took these pics 1-20-18 at around 8 in the morning. Using a Nikon D500 with 700mm lens and mono-pod. Mature Bald Eagles have been spotted in this area and people have taken pictures of them (posted in local newspapers). I am pretty sure this is either an immature Bald Eagle or a Golden Eagle but not sure. There was a hawk in the area but its markings were far different from the ones in these pictures. Also, the beak on this bird appears larger than a hawk’s. Bird never landed so these are the best (out of dozens) I could get. Any help identifying this bird would be a great help.
Predatory birds
I think that’s a juvenile Bald Eagle.
