Golden Eagle sub-adult.



Here, Don has a great shot of the Golden Eagle, this bird has a lot of feather ware and you can see sub-adult feathers coming in. The first year birds have larger wing areas for learning flight, and as the birds get older the feathers shorten up a bit for more controlled and aerodynamic flight.
