At first I thought this Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) that I spotted today at Occoquan Bay National Wildlife Refuge had a really dirty head, but I’m beginning to think that maybe it’s simply the feather pattern of an almost-mature eagle whose head will eventually be all white.

Nice! It is always fun to photograph Bald Eagles! Plus dragonfly season will be here soon!
Yes I think you are right Mike.
Yeah. I think so. I have been having a lot of bald eagle encounters lately. Saw one just like that the other day while paddleboarding. It’s in my blog 😁
