A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Haliaeetus leucocephalus
Largest raptor in the country with a very distinctive profile and field marks. Adult birds have a white head and tail with an overall body color of dark brown to black. The bill and legs are yellow. These field marks make it identifiable from long distances.
Lakes, rivers, marches and seacoast
I was fortunate enough to see three birds on this outing, two that were together and a third that landed in another tree some distance from the other two. Always a thrill to see this beautiful bird.
