Haliaeetus leucocephalus

Bald Eagle juvenile at Lovers Key State Park at Big Carlos Pass
Fort Myers Beach, Florida USA

The open beak is an effort to cool the bird as I observed. As might be expected,
the bird was breathing rapidly and producing a lot of saliva which I tried to capture.
Liquid was dripping from the nostrils, tongue, and the beak.


other sizes: small medium original auto
