Its daddy is the same rooster that was in that old joke whose punchline is, "Shhh!" said the rooster, pointing skyward, "Buzzards!" |

I got fooled by an immature buzzard a couple of years ago.. plumage was not what I was expecting, but a look at other exemplars soon confirmed it. LTS |

Within the same species they can be lighter or darker. I suspect this eagle is a young bird that's growing its white feathers in an unusual way. (It takes a few years for a bald eagle to develop it's white head and wing tips.) I've also seen funny-looking birds in August, when birds are molting their spring garb and new feathers (for winter) are coming in. |
