Photograph of an American bald eagle perched on a gray, bark-less branch against a blue sky. The eagle is facing slightly to the left with its head turned right nearly facing the camera Bald eagles have brown body feathers, white head and tail feathers, clear, light yellow-green eyes with large pupils, yellow-orange beaks that curve downward to a point, yellow-orange legs, and yellow-orange feet that end in sharp black talons. This is a juvenile bald eagle. It takes 4-5 years for an eagle to acquire its adult feathers. During that transition time the eagle's feathers begin brown and then become mottled brown and white prior to the adult stage with a white head and tail as well as a brown body.
