Most probably juvenile bald eagles. Their heads don't go white till they are 4-5 years old. We are VERY lucky to have 3 nesting pairs around the lake, and I have heard rumor of a fourth but have not seen any confirmation on it. There has been a nesting pair at the dam since the early 80's but for years teh nest wa only visible from guard shack area of the dam. The tree it was in finally broke under the massive weight of the nest. That is when they moved to Chimney Rock Island. The DARE Park couple have given me some AWESOME shows in the past few years. They are magnificent creatures.

FYI- they are also off the endangered species list now. Still protected though so please don't mess with them.
