It takes almost 5 years for eagles to transition in color to the adult we normally see. During a 2-day period, I saw immature Eagles in varying stages of this transition fishing over one pond behind Everglades Rec center. Be sure to scroll down into the replies section to see 5 more photos. Hope you enjoy!

Several young fellas. It takes about 5 years to get their full color. Great shots!
