Reviewed by Allen Fish Jan 28, 2007

Action: changed name from "Aquila chrysaetos" to "Haliaeetus leucocephalus "

Reviewer's comments:

"Few clues to work with here, but that bill, tall, black, and large -- is a Bald Eagle bill. Goldens have a flatter bill with barely any "rise" going up the forehead from the cere. This Bald has a high forehead. Juvenile because there's no discerible yellow in the bill, something that starts to show at 1.5 years or so."
