Hi everyone its Al from my blog to talk about a new sighting I photographed today at Jordan Lake. Today was my first time ever photographing a Bald Eagle at Jordan Lake . My mentor never got the shots of the Bald Eagle but I did so I will talk about the Bald Eagle for a change on my blog.

The Bald Eagle is very rare in Jordan Lake in this area of North Carolina.

How do you Identify a Bald Eagle? Heres how to identify a Bald Eagle so you recognize it in the wild.

They are very large birds and dark with plank like wings and a large head and bill. Adults have a distinctive black color just like this one with a white head and tail. It has yellow for its bill color.
