The other Juvi Eagle gets released!!

[Eric D]

Meet the Audubon earl this morning to release the female Juvi Eagle. Her brother was released a few weeks back. She was a bit larger than her brother. Apparently the Juvi decided to take a bath before she left the Audubons Birds of Prey. She had a tough time getting any long distance flight until she dried of a bit....finally resting in a tree!

Another great morning.....A few weeks back when the nest fel from 45 feet it's a miracle these Eagles survived.

Oh man, Eric. How she's outlined with the moss or whatever that white stuff is behind her in the last one just is too cool!

She is magnificent. Wonderful shots! I love her expression looking at you and the background in the last shot.
Besides the overall size, are there other ways to tell the males from the females?

Looking at shot 2. That Eagle could really do some serious damage with that beak and talons

Not really...size is about the only way to tell them apart.

This Female Juvi was banded on here left leg and her brother was banded on the right leg, so i will be able to tell those two apart.

Excellent! Now all they need are names for future posts! ;)
