p.1 #1 · Raptor I.D. help, please

Hi, all Thanks for the great posts. I'll have to get more active here myself.

We saw this raptor around 1 pm. this afternoon in NW New Jersey and got various takes as to who he is. I suspect an immy bald eagle. Here are the shots- crops of original .jpgs. Taken with a D2x and Nikkor 300mm f./4 AFS telephoto.

Any i.d. help/opinions appreciated.

Thanks for the look and any help.

Best,

I would agree with you. Juvenile / Immature Bald Eagle.
