bald eagles

Same pair from last February?

I do not know what he did, but she was sure giving him "what for" when he flew in. My husband said he much have been out all night. (New Years Eve) hahaha

I don't think she thought his joke was funny. :)

It was taken on the shore of the St-Laurent, Qc, at low tide. These young eagles were looking to find a free meal early in the morning. At low tide, they can find fish caught in small ponds.

Most of the time all I see are small birds like chickadees, sparrows, nuthatches, etc. So to see two huge Bald Eagles casually sitting around in the early morning sunlight....well....there was some hyperventilating going on.

The eagle on the right is clearly the female of the pair.

Raptors love dead perches-- improves visibility. The female in a pair of raptors is bigger. Can you tell which one is a female?

In other words, this Eagle is coming up on his third "hatchday."

Four BE flyovers this morning

The most defining characteristic of a third-year BE is the brown stripe through the eye.

In two days in the same location, I saw 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4rth, and 5+ year old Bald Eagles.

saw this 5+ year-old along with a 3 and four-year-old in the same tree yesterday.

Merry Christmas, my Birding Buddies! While I was watching him, she flew in, and with her was another immature eagle flying over. Great to see three at once close by.

Two Bald Eagles after the same prey.

Chelsea Flats Harisson Mills BC Canada

This mating pair are only about 30 meters from their nest. The bird I uploaded last week is now on its way to fish the Gulf of Mexico, which is only a few blocks to the west.

These two are 15 and 16 Years old

A nice clear day helped to set this Bald Eagle in a nice blue background.
