Imperial Eagle (白肩鵰)

After reviewing the images I took last Friday. I suspect I actually saw three juvenile Imperial Eagles instead of two.  Below are more pictures of them for those interested.

I was at MPNR ( with visitors and without the camera) in the late afternoon of 18th Nov. and I think I saw "Eagle#2" and "Eagle#3" toghether at rest on the side of Pond 16/17. In fact #3 had a "kill" and #2 was close by, perhaps hoping to get some scraps !
Side-by-side #2 was noticably smaller, less streaked, and more rufous. So I suspect that in your third picture, "Eagle #2" is, in fact, a juvenile ("fulvescens" form) of Spotted Eagle.
But I should stress I'm not sure. ( And any other comments/discussion would be welcome ! ) Anyway, I think that when looking at tawny-coloured young eagles the possibility of "fulvescens" Spotted Eagles should be remembered.

I agree with Angus that these are 3 subadult Imperials. I think that fulvescens Spotted Eagles are much paler than this bird and that it is possible to have variation in size in eagles as in people.
I do not have enough experience to be certain about this, so would appreciate further comments.
I agree that 1 and 3 are different birds
Cheers
Mike
