As I've been working with the collections while researching at the Romeo Community Archives, I often come across interesting and sometimes unusual photographs. So, I thought it would be a good idea to share them, and I plan on doing so every week.
Today's photograph depicts Charles Broley and an 11-week old bald eagle. Apparently, the white head and tail feathers that we associate with this magnificent animal do not grow in until the bird matures and reaches 4 to 5 years of age, at which time they also begin nesting.
This photo is not dated and is part of the Melvin E. and Joan D. Bleich collection, which consists of The Romeo Observer newspapers and associated photographs. Any additional information would be welcome! rca@romeodistrictlibrary.org
