Have you noticed that there are a few more bald eagles in the area? In Nebraska, we see both bald eagles and golden eagles. One way to tell a golden eagle from an immature bald eagle is leg plumage. A golden eagle’s legs are entirely covered with feathers; an immature bald eagle’s lower legs are bare. Golden eagles are part of the “true eagles” family and more widely distributed than any other eagle on Earth.
