Lift Off!

This eagle is flying away with its stolen prize in its beak. It is the remains of the backbone of a very large fish that was originally discovered by some gulls.

  Thank you. Yes, we do see Bald Eagles regularly. There are three or four nest sites very close to us and one is visible from our front window. The nesting sites are used in some kind of irregular rotation. I would say that one or two adults would be seen each day and often a juvenile as well. Posted 4 years ago

The Bald eagle

The bald eagle is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle, which occupies the same niche as the bald eagle in the Palearctic. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico.
