I thought the shells of eagle eggs thinned because of a low calcium diet.

The Eagles were in trouble until Tony and his crew sold them protection

Oh, whoops. You said bald eagle, not bald ass.

[coconutt2000]

Animals eating animals... PETA would be appalled.

"BADA-BING, baby!"

[Jack Hammer]

It'll be a different story after the Eagles are busted for racketeering, money laundering, and loan sharking.

[Clemenza]

Lots of bald eagles in the Puget Sound region. See them flying in downtown Seattle every once in awhile.

I just have to brag. These pictures are from next to my house. A typical winter day, but with clear skies.

We have several pair of nesting eagles in our neighborhood.

They'll swoop down into the lake and come out with a fish...they're beautiful creatures to watch.

[RushLake]

You have every right to brag. Great pictures. We have several of them hanging out on the north end of Rush Lake, not close enough for pictures. They do take your breath away when there are several of them floating on the air currents overhead. People dump unwanted cats down at our end, between the eagles and the coyotes, they don't last long.

Very nice pictures.

Thanks

[ZinGirl]

Beautiful pictures! Thank you for posting them.

There were a few earlier this winter hanging out on the Racoon River.

Last year there were at least 24 baldies here that stayed at least a month.They stayed late enough in Iowa that I got to see at least one aerial mating or mock aerial combat routine where one baidie will swoop on another and the lower flips over, talons up. Beautiful show. Better than watching the Thunderbirds and not quite so loud.

LOL!

I have only one thing to say:

Shake-N-Bake!

Just kiddin. Have a pair livin near me. But about ten years ago, saw a pair mating on the Olympic peninsula. They would fly up to about 600 feet, clasp together, and just fall. Then, when they were only about 100 feet from the ground, they'd separate and fly apart.

Stunning.

Indeed!

EVERY type of wildlife has been on the rebound in the northeast over the years. As a kid in the NYC area, you only very rarely saw turkeys, red-tailed hawks, great blue herons -- even seeing a deer was cause for excitement. Now...

Saw my first bear in the Catskills last summer, first bald eagle the year before that.

We have many here at the local landfill in fact their are walking tours around the landfill for birdwatchers.They are beautiful to watch.

The 500,000,000 dead from malaria would like to thank Rachel Carson and the rest of the Green Brigade for banning DDT.

[NativeNewYorker]

Eagles have the uncanny ability to remember exactly where they were born, and to return to that spot

What exit?
