Its a sign.

everybody haul ass over there when SHTF! LOL.

That's awesome.

Nice pix there of migizi, niiji.
Where I work, in one of my patrol areas, we have a nesting pair. They're in their third nest since I've been there (they usually pick old dying trees to use). DNR comes through at least once a year to see how they're doing. I've seen some of the youngins' they've raised, beautiful. It's fun watching them learn to fish. We have a variety of other raptors as well such as; various hawks (red-tail and coopers most prevailant), osprey,various owls, and a handful of various falcons.

Cool...we have many here in Florida and see them all the time. They nest in some tall trees close to our back yard. I still stop everytime I see one. Beautiful.

Out reply, but a beautiful picture....we have a few on a lake near here and they are truly AMAZING to watch, they are regal, strong, and swift. Sorry I love animals (and yes I shoot em', too---but I eat em' too). I do plan on getting rid of this pesky wild dog around my house though.

I'm going to Washington State next week..my Aunt told me theres a few of them big birds flying around here neck of the woods..so I'm excited to see one for the first time in my life! (23yrs old:))

Excellent photos........ I used to live In little 'ol Davenport Ia and the eagles would come to the lock and dams to feed. The fast water kept it ice free and they had easy fishing there right on the Mississippi river.

Hard to believe that the wild turkey was their competition for the position as our national bird.

When I was a child my dad would take me out to West Point Lake to fish with a friend of ours and from time to time we would see a couple of Eagles. I also saw a few when I went bay fishing down in FL. Beautiful creatures they are.

Wow that was cool

MAYBE A GOLDEN EAGLE BUT NOTHING ELSE. We could have went with ben franklin and had the turkey. It would have been more appropriate in todays political climate. LOL

Great photos Scotto! They are truly the masters of the sky.

A few years ago, I was doing a flight lesson with a student east of Seattle and we saw two eagles mating in the air. Very cool!!

When I was a kid my grandpa and I were fishing on a lake by Mt. St. Helens. We had been fishing for several hours and despite moving the boat to different parts of the lake hadn't even gotten a nibble. All of the sudden a bald eagle swooped down about 20 feet from us and pulled a big old trout out and flew away, an event I will always treasure!! I can see why Native Americans revere and honor the eagle!

I live in SW Missouri, and I have counted as many as 23 Bald eagles in one day, on a trip to Wilson Combat. They must really like Bill, because they are everwhere donw by his shop. Its a beautiful sight for sure.

Beautiful stuff...I need to move.

Since this got bumped.

Scotto, the cove we usually anchor a boat, we call Turtle Cove, there's a Day Marker that has an Eagles nest. They raise their young there every year. I thought you might find this next part interesting. The nest is actually shared with Osprey which comes later in the season after the Eagles have pulled out. I find that odd but haven't read up on if it is or not really.

A very long time ago, the wildlife service did an Eagle repopulate program and did these nests on the Day Markers. I don't know if that has anything to do with it or not.

You heard of these type programs up your way?

BTW, Our wolf repopulate program was a total failure. That's despite them putting them in Cade's Cove where there are literally 1,000s of deer due to the no hunting in the National Park. The idea was they would cull the herd. Instead they starve off themselves. I like the let hunters go in there and take some out but they wouldn't buy that one.
