About
Eagles Explored offers an extensive archive of Bald Eagle imagery curated for clarity, wonder, and learning. Our galleries showcase molting sequence, plumage variation, anatomical details and behavioral traits across life stages. A hallmark of these archives is the incorporation of open-use licensing which means that many images on the site can be used and shared by you. From first-time eagle watchers to career biologists, the collection invites all to explore freely and share responsibly. (Image Credit Mathias Appel/ Flickr/ Public Domain. Edited by Eagles Explored)
Our site blends visual storytelling with scientific rigor while also acknowledging the existence of unknowns and tools for approximating. We highlight field-based molt, plumage and aging systems, anatomical traits, research insights and myth-busting facts drawn from published literature. Our resources are designed to demystify eagle biology while respecting complexity and variety. Our posts are structured to support public engagement, casual inquiry, and deeper scientific dialogue.
