Observation details
Immature bird. Small-headed, long-tailed, long-winged eagle; pale bases to tail feathers, white patches at the base of primary/secondary flight feathers. Lazily soaring high above Waterbury Reservoir (not behaving as a migratory bird). Photos. This bird appears to be a distinctly different immature bird from the individual sighted by Gary Chapin one day earlier (11/28) that was seen from the Bob & Betty Cummings Memorial Park, about 52 miles due Southwest of the Waterbury Reservoir. Notable differences of the Waterbury Reservoir bird from the Cummings Memorial Park bird are the lack of projecting central tail feather(s); the more blocky, square-shaped white basal wing patches; the more consistent tips to inner secondaries on bird's left wing (compared to jagged/inconsistent molt on the 11/28 bird).
