I was surprised to look this morning and see an eagle I was not familiar with in the nest. After a few minutes it was clear this was a young eagle since it did not have the white feathers. I am wondering if it was baby Freedom stopping by for a visit to see what Mom and Dad had done with the place since he left back in August. He stayed for about a half an hour digging around in the snow in the nest and pulling at some of the sticks. It was very interesting to spot an eagle I was not expecting to see in the nest.

From the mottling and color of beak (no yellow), it is clearly a younger juvie, but I'm guessing about a year and a half so maybe not Freedom. But who could be sure?
