Eagles

[robstaples]

You have a really great setup, robstaples. Do you ever get a chance for pictures of the young. Fred is a lot more suspicious/curious than Marge.

I have a single pair of Canadian geese that nest on my lake every year. It can not be the same pair. This has been going on for over 35 years. Just one pair and they actively drive all others off.

Yes, I get pictures of the young too. For the previous pictures, I played my eagle call phone ring tone on my porch and photoed their reaction. Fred seemed ready for a fight. They are quite territorial.

Although the young Eagles are much bigger, I prefer the adults. Beautiful birds.

Are you sure that the "young Eagles" are not Golden Eagles?

I have both where I live and at first I wondered why the immature eagle was so much larger than the mature ones. Turns out they were Golden Eagles.

My Game Warden says we don't have Golden Eagles. But then his predecessor said we didn't have Bald Eagles....

I am not sure of anything.

What did you have for breakfast this morning?

We have both. Golden Eagles look like a brown eagle

This was in Yellowstone Park, near the West Entrance. We where driving down the road and saw a traffic jam, so we stopped to see why everyone else had stopped. When I couldn't see any elk or bison or something on the ground, I asked a guy what they where looking at. He pointed up.

In Yellowstone, if you encounter stopped traffic, look around, there's something to see.

I haven't checked the second roadkill carcass/camera for two days. Every time I visually check there's activity. I'll retrieve the results tomorrow and post results.

That pic really gives the full perspective of the wing span. Great pic!

My wife and I were kayaking on The Delaware River last year just before The I 80 overpass between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. An Eagle came out of the sky and with its claws open ripped a large rainbow trout out of the water less than a paddles length away from the front of my wife's kayak. It was so fast yet that picture is forever etched in my mind. You could see the trout with its mouth open and not very happy. Around north eastern PA those birds are almost as common as a pigeon any more. Just soo neat !

Pretty cool to see them fishing, especially that close!
