I personally had thought it was a 5th year bird from this video, but further evidence from photos we (Joan and I) decided to go 4th year Bird... Joan has some photos showing the underwing linings which show evidence of the bird in its 4th year. To confirm our thoughts we contacted one of the nations leading experts.... below is Jerry's take on it.

"It appears the bird has molted 3 times which would make it a 4th year bird, but depending on energy, location, health, and a few other factors some birds molt slower than others. Hope this helps

Bus tour of refuge
offered By LEE JUILLERAT Regional Editor Herald and News
                                  

International Migratory Bird Day won’t be celebrated until Saturday, May 9, but a special tour to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge will be offered a week earlier. “Don’t miss out on an opportunity to see bald eagles in their nest,” said Hallie Rasmussen, one of Bird Day organizers. “This free guided bus tour to the Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge will take you through an area that is otherwise closed to the public to view the nesting bald eagles, among many other birds.”

The bus tour is scheduled Saturday, May 2, leaving from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Office, 1936 California Ave., at 9 a.m. and returning about noon. Preregistration is recommended but not required and can be done by calling the Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuges office at 530-667-2231.

Rasmussen said the bus tour, a pre-event for the 16th Annual International Migratory Bird Day, will be guided by experts who will discuss bird life, habitat and how agriculture is supporting bird habitat and efforts aimed at benefiting the Klamath Basin, including birds.

“If you have never birded before, or want to learn more about birds, this will be a great tour to take,” she said. “The Klamath Basin is so fortunate to have an abundance of migrating and nesting birds, playing host to more than 350 bird species.”

 B.J. Matzen, one of the founders of the Klamath Wingwatchers and a board member of the Klamath Bird Observatory, will provide insight about birds during the bus tour.

The International Migratory Bird Day event will be from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, May 9, at Veterans Memorial Park. The bus tour used to be on the same day as the event, “but we are trying something new that, hopefully, will allow more people to advantage of incredible free tour,” Rasmussen said.

Miracle Eagle (Incredible Story on an Eagle rescue) Bald Eagle

Truck driver Ben Wright was more than startled when a bald eagle struck his windshield with great force as he traveled along the interstate outside of Bear Lake, Idaho at 65 miles per hour. "I didn't know what hit the windshield, all I knew was the glass exploded, and this thing was screaming just like a child, or something," Wright said of the experience.

top notch experience.
been there 20 times in last 25 years, never fails always cool stuff to see. seen 100s of Bald Eagles on each trip, excellent views of Rough-legged Hawks, Red-tailed Hawks, Northern Harriers, Prairie Falcons, Golden Eagles, Ferruginous Hawks, Merlin. Kestrel. Rare sightings of Red-shouldered Hawks, Peregrine, White-tailed kite, Coopers Hawk. The Lower K, along with Butte Valley just south off the HWY 97, is a great case study in aging Bald Eagles, with so many present it is easy to learn all the color phases and patterns because of the sheer numbers of sightings. also other wildlife and wide open spaces and total separation from city life. One of the best places on earth, for me.
