What are you looking at, meat?

Can I help you with something?

Co-worker Jason Meserve went into the woods along White Bagley Road and the Sudbury Reservoir in Southborough today in search of our local bald eagle. He found him.

I'll have to take a look when I get a chance. Is there only one? Eagles are typically incubating eggs around this time.

That sounds so wrong on so many levels.

Anyway, wikipedia says that males and females have identical plumage but that females are larger. I'm not sure there's any other way to tell other than a blood test; birds are notoriously difficult to sex (which also sounds wrong) unless the male and female have different plumage, e.g. cardinals.
