Tail feathers Male
adult


Tail feathers female .. She is in the third or fourth year


Tail feather Golden Eagle for comparison.


Ageing Golden Eagles can be tricky because the amount of white in the wings varies in extent until adulthood when the white is absent, and wing molt can be difficult to assess without lots of practice. So, the best thing to key in on is the tail pattern and tail molt. Using the tail to age Golden Eagles is often much easier and more accurate than using overall plumage or wing molt (remember this!)........

Wiki:Golden eagles become sexually mature when they are about six years old

Tail feather Golden Eagle for comparison.

Wow!
All thanks for a photo and video!

[Marfo]

So she is probably not mature enough to breed.

I got a 'close-up' of the left ring. Not very good, but best I could do. It's red anyway, same as the female that was on the nest some time ago.

[Liz01]

Marfo, thanks for the picture. Maybe Ugis can find out when she was ringed.
Maybe we are lucky and she comes back and shows the ring better.

An ornithologist told me that wiki is not the best source for important information. Let's wait and see what happens.

... Wiki:Golden eagles become sexually mature when they are about six years old

"An eagle is sexually mature and ready to breed at about 4 to 5 years of age. For bald eagles, the complete white head and tail are signs of sexual maturity. Golden eagles also attain their adult plumage at 4-5 years of age, when they are sexually mature and typically begin breeding." (https://www.nationaleaglecenter.org/eag ... ing-young/)

Thank you Solo
So there is a little hope, that they could breed.

Solo, I'm a bit nervous, because we have no new data from Eedi and Mare
