For nearly two months, a pair of bald eagles in the San Bernardino National Forest have watched vigilantly over two eggs laid in early January, but officials say it’s looking like the eggs aren’t likely to hatch. The chicks should have been born around Valentine’s Day, but on Feb. 21 — more than 40 days after the eggs were laid — the U.S. Forest Service delivered the disappointing news. “It’s hard to say this,” the officials wrote on Facebook in announcing that the odds were against the eggs hatching. The chances “are diminishing each day,” they wrote. “The window of successful hatching is closing.” Bald eagle Jackie laid her first egg of the year Jan. 8. Three days later, she laid a second.

“I had to fight a Golden Eagle to save my little Podengo Gypsy.”

We have several hundred Golden Eagles in the mountains just East of my house and at a lesser amount of Bald Eagles as well. They, like bears come to visit us on occasion. There is a definite size difference.

Good work keeping your dog safe!

Texas has a growing population of bald eagles.

While driving along a suburban street a couple weeks ago I saw a bird in my peripheral vision. I looked to my right and saw a male bald eagle swooping down mutual of omaha style to grab a fish from a road side retention pond. He bared his huge claws but missed whatever fish he was aiming for. It was quite a sight. The female eagle was flying along side, too.

Somehow they manage to successfully reproduce on a cliff above an old steel mill south of Pittsburgh.
