The bird is perching on a branch and has one foot raised to rest it. It is not injured. This eagle has a great number of white feather and they are on the underside of the bird.
Why would such a powerful bird ever need anything except feathers that covers it's body for warmth and mating. The bird is a hunter. It is a raptor. In order to capture it's prey it has to be a stealth approach.
So, that doesn't really explain the white feathers, right? Well, actually it does.
Imagine being a fish, a good sized fish, one that can put up a fight for escape. Fish do look through water to see what is on top. What is often on top of the water the fish are looking through are insects, flies, spiders and all sorts of interesting dinner items.
So, let's just say, the white bellied eagle is searching for dinner for the kids at the very same time the fish is looking for it's dinner. Who is going to be successful in the ability to catch dinner and live through it? The answer is the white bellied eagle.
The fish won't see the eagle coming. Even if the fish comes to the surface water to swallow the insects on top. But, the fish will never see the bird because the SKY IS LIGHT in color, pale blue and white clouds. I am sure there are times fish will see approaching birds and that lends reality to the time the eagle's talons come up empty.
The truth about US Air Force jets is the fact they are usually made of metal and the color is silver. Does silver act as a camouflage? It sure does. It not only acts as a camouflage, it also reflects sunlight into the sees of any enemy if the angle is right.
Why does the USA have a stealth fighter that isn't really stealth?
See, the White-bellied eagle has dark feathers on it's back. Why would that be? For the very same reason fish and marine mammals have dark color of their skin even though their bellies are white? Camouflage.
Natural selection over hundreds and thousands of years have protected these species with camouflage from beneath and above. If one is flying above the eagle, it may not see the raptor because it is looking down on a color scheme that is there to confuse the eye of any predator.
The expression 'eagle eyes' indicating exceptional ability to discern all the details of a view; comes from the fact eagles have very keen eyesight to carry out predatory hunting.
It just seems to me a covering that provides stealth movement of USA jets without detection on radar only does half the job.
Have a better day.
