Adults and immature bald eagles have one complete annual molt, which is very gradual, and prolonged through spring, summer, and fall. The flight feathers are molted mainly during July, August, and September.

They molt by slowly shedding feathers around the age of 5 years. Their feathers go from black and brown to white and brown. Their beaks also change colors from black to yellow.
