From your description it sounds like a young Bald Eagle. They take about 4-5 years to complete the transition into an adult plumage and are varying degrees of mottled brown & white feathers.

Thank you again for helping Governor’s State University grads and undergrads with our own raptor survey over the weekend of 4/29-5/2. I enjoyed reading your blog, and seeing the pelicans that we both spotted!

good luck,
Barry Latham
