The swan on the left looks like it’s dabbing. Happy American Thanksgiving.

Two large white birds with long necks standing side by side. One of them is tucking its head under its wing in a way that makes it look like it’s dabbing.

Pretty sure this is a golden eagle, but it could conceivably be a juvenile bald eagle. Let me know if you have thoughts either way!
