Eagle Watching

This is a great time of year to watch the eagles at the Canton and LaGrange riverfronts. Nancy Osborn provided these photos. The eagles can be spotted in the trees or soaring over the open waters. The Bald Eagle has been the national emblem of the United States since 1782. Adult Bald Eagles have white heads and tails with dark brown bodies and wings. Their legs and bills are bright yellow. Immature birds have mostly dark heads and tails; their brown wings and bodies are mottled with white in varying amounts. Young birds attain adult plumage in about five years.
