bald eagle

The eagle finally settled on this tree before it flew away.

My car was parked close to the lake and I was about to leave when I saw this eagle swoop down into the grass by the shoreline. Repeated passes were made but never successful. A parent tern valiantly defended its nest during the entire episode. I was to close to the action to get both the tern...

The nearest I came to one, and the weather was rubbish on that morning.

I was standing on a very high cliff edge overlooking the Hudson River where I had seen Eagles before and I saw this guy flying about 1/2 mile away...and just hoping. My hopes came true when it flew at eye level directly past me--always an awesome experience to see one close up. Is40:31

Walked around the Urban Horticulture Center today. At one point we saw a bald eagle fly in from over Union Bay. He came closer and closer ... and then landed in the tree right above our heads! I had to walk out from under the tree and back away a few meters towards the bay to get this shot. Not...

Taken on a warm day in Naples, Florida. The nest was in a suburban backyard a few blocks from the Gulf and the Waldorf Astoria.

Bald Eagle after successful catch. Conowingo Dam. Poor lighting conditions so high ISO needed.

Found this cooperative Bald Eagle sitting on post on Osprey Platform in middle of river. Came across several cars pulled off to side of dirt road that goes along shore of Hudson River in Fort Miller a town a bit north of where I live. We usually drive this road looking for ducks and geese but...

The eagle is perched atop a Norfolk Pine. It's mate was just told to go fishing with some friendly persuasion. I'll upload that encounter another day.

I live in North Florida in a wooded hilly lakeside community. Lots of large birds of prey in my neighborhood - hawks, ospreys, owls and eagles. I was in my backyard earlier this week doing some gardening and a pair of bald eagles landed in one of my pine trees. By the time I got my camera one...

Seconds after the strike (previous photo), the falcon gains a height advantage for a second strike.

When you enter a Falcon's airspace uninvited you will pay the price. Do you see the gray blur between the eagle's head and tail? That is a falcon.

The Eagle turns to see it coming...do you? (look over the hood of the red car).

It is a snowy winter's day on the Severn River, Near Annapolis, Maryland. I have been seeing birds (Blue Jays, Cardinals, Chicadees, Sparrows, Titmouse) on all of my feeders all morning. When I looked out a few minutes ago there were no birds at all? I thought maybe a fox was snooping around...

Quick post and then run this am. One of a number of wintering Bald Eagles in the area this year. Most of the wintering eagles seem to be juvi's this year as was the case last year. Usually we get a mix of juvi and adult bird additions to the locals in the winter. Going by the amount of white on...

The extended cold temps (-6F tonight) are concentrating the open water around the dams and water falls and attracting Eagles to those places to fish.

I was following this young eagle with his catch and just as I clicked the camera he flipped sideways on me.

It looks like a new pair of Bald Eagles have moved in to my area. This is one of the pair that were observed yesterday beginning a new nest next to the river. If they continue to build the nest and use it they will be the third pair of eagles along this stretch of the Mohawk River in the Cohoes...
