Big bird

(Click on the picture to make it larger)

That's a dead deer along the roadside, just down the hill from where I live.  A young eagle is feasting on deer meat.  He's been hanging around that area for days.  My daughter and I were headed to Kansas City to the garden show when we passed this guy; I said, "Oh man, I didn't get a picture!"
Rachel got to a place where she could turn around and we went back for this shot.  
Honestly, this bird is so homely it's hard to believe he's an eagle.  But what other kind of local bird is that huge?  You can probably do some googling and find out at what age the Bald Eagle gets his white head.    
On the way home after the show, down on the other side of Levasy, a full-grown eagle soared over us, flying low.  I guess it's just a time for eagles to show up.
