Young Whipper Snapper

Not a great picture. We are keeping this eagle isolated to minimize imprinting. It came to us from Dutch Harbor, Alaska with a fractured left wing at the humerous.

Can you guess about what age this one is? Hints are, beak & eye color. Answer to come later.

I really have no idea how old this baby is, but what a beauty. S/he looks young. Would the broken humerous have occurred from a fall out of a nest?

We're guessing 7-8 weeks old. His / her recovery is coming along well so far but we won't know how the bone is healing for another week or so.

Sorry Cindy. Got tired of the spam post. I'll check out spam karma and see if it works with blogger.
