I took a chance and decided to stop by Kyker Bottoms this rainy  
afternoon and was rewarded with an excellent look at a young Bald Eagle.

The crows were mobbing something so I headed in that direction only to  
be surprised as a young eagle flew by! I was fortunate that it landed  
in a tree that was close and I was able to get a few photos.
I will leave the age of this bird to those that are much more  
knowledgeable.
