Juvenile. Wing coverts not fully developed but still eager to find out more about flying. As mentioned yesterday, 3546, I was on a mission to find out if the bird had really been wired up or not. And as you can see, it was not. Thankfully. Therefore concluding that young eagle feathers can look really messy! UPDATE 2021-07-28: Spoke to Thomas Hellesen today and to my sad surprise he told me that DOF indeed had sent a man up in the nest to band the bird and to put on a gps-transmitter, to what I can only disapprove and say that you can be sure that I from now on will keep my mouth shut and lie if necessary if I'm asked anything that smells like Scientific Ego is being nurtured rather than the well-being of our fellow beings. |
