Birds of Kentucky: Bald Eagles 2 2017-01-20 - Taylor Co., KY - Photo by Lawrence Hamilton. Lawrence writes, "This is the second time I have been lucky enough to spot these Eagles on the Green River. There seems to be 3 I have seen them together 2 with white heads and 1 does not have a white head..I have read the one that does not have a white head is young they mature around 4 to 5 yrs old. Male an Female both have white heads.If you would like to look for the Eagles the best place seems to be around the river at Tebbs Bend. Today I spotted these in a field feeding on something. They have also been spotted below the Dam fishing." Paired photo: Birds of Kentucky: Bald Eagles Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
