Have a pair of eagles nesting on the river in front of the house...5 minute walk...It is going to be fun keeping a eye on them...Can't wait for the eggs to hatch...Kinda interesting as they take turns sitting on the eggs..

I'll add some pics every now and then..

Those things are a giant PIA if you have chickens….or a hatchery. 😉
Great pics.

Cool. I saw bald eagles almost every day when I lived on the Cook Inlet in Kenai during one summer, but I never did find a nest. Also saw Belugas on the regular.

Very cool. I see eagles quite a bit perched in some trees overlooking a bay here. Have no idea where they nest. Looking forward to some more of those cool pix.
We have balds also.

,,,and the Osprey are back (about a week now).

Yard is littered with fish heads.

Ospreys can be damn mean to the balds...

We don't mind... I prefer Ospreys.

Golden's are more common......

Bald's seem to just hang around in the winter

That's an 8" RR tie his talons are stretched across

Good luck. Hope they can fledge 1 or 2.

Notice the feathers on the golden go all the way to top of their feet.
Most years the Balds hereabouts are back by the Ides of March but only had one last week on the wolf bait on the lake in the front yard.
I know of at least a dozen nests but generally have to wait until 1st of July to see the young—they are generally standing on the nest and wing flapping by then.

Or Trout in a pond. No idea why they’re the national treasure most folks seem to think they are. We have a season on Turkey and let POS eagles be protected. Coyote with wings, Fugk em.
Great pics. There’s a nest about 5 minutes drive away. I’ve watched them land on the river and pick minnows off of the ice tossed from bait buckets. Scavengers for sure but they serve a purpose and look better doing it then a turkey buzzard.

My feelings exactly. I'd shoot every fuggin one I saw if it weren't against the law.

Great pictures, thank for sharing.
Thanks for sharing and that sure is 1 heck of a camera you have!

eagles are rats with feathers, Ospreys are the real deal, they will not eat anything they don't kill themselves.

Almost every year we get to watch a pair of hawks raise babies in one of our pastures.

Beautiful birds. The bald eagle just looks like a bad ass.

The second known nest in my county since any one here has been alive.

Sort of strange really, the Eagles started showing up here about the same time as the Black headed Vultures. Nobody alive here that remembers those either.

Great photos! Please keep 'em coming.

Thanks, RS
We had one take up residency in a Cottonwood tree. It killed 5 or 6 chickens one day. Grandpa got the 30 out and let him have it. Threw the head in an ant pile.
If i wantb to see n eagles i go to the dump. We have hundreds there
