Four month old female bald eagle.
She is "mantling."
A term referring to covering food with the wings.
The handler picked up a clump of meat and the eagle is mantling to protect its snack.
The white head, white tail and brown colored feathers will appear at around four years of age.


other sizes: small medium original auto
