These two particular nests had hawks that appeared to be in juvenile plumage.<br /><br />The nest in the first photo didn't get to incubation.

I seem to recall a pair of Bald Eagles in Florida where the male wasn't as old as the female and still showed some black on the tail and the face, I will contact a friend who took images of that pair just to be sure and will let you know.
