Eagle pics
Had a road kill overnight out front and an eagle came along and claimed it from the Crows.
A car came along and it took off with it in its talon. I didn't see where it when when it left, but my wife went for a walk a short time latter and saw it had circled around and landed in our side yard to dine on it. We have a patio door on the lower level and when I approached to get pics, it saw me and stopped eating and stared at me for a couple minutes. I froze in place and she eventually went back to eating. I believe it is a female as it was very large. She was about 30 ft from the house. Moments before she decided she was done and took off.

They are cool as all hell! We have the good fortune where we are, the eagle population has come storming back.
I wouldnt call it a " real common" sight yet, but often enough. They are so majestic. |

Thanks Mitch. No matter how many of them I see I always look forward to seeing more. A couple weeks ago driving to work I watched one fly down and snatch up a road kill which was very awesome when its in your windshield view.

Awesome birds! That'll soon be a political meme. Be back in 40.

----Here on the St Clair River we are lucky enough to have a lot of these majestic birds. This year with a relatively mild winter so we had no ice on the river, but when we did (in years past) the eagles would sit on the ice chunks floating down and ride right past our house. They also roost near us. We are in a relatively heavily populated area, but they seem to coexist with us. In the 20 years we have lived here I have never heard of an eagle killed by human hands. I believe that's true,,,at least I really hope so!.....Bill S

We are just 1/2 mile from the St Croix river and this one is half of a mated pair that we see soaring overhead quite often.
About 5 weeks ago, we looked out and they were roosting in a tall Cottonwood in our front yard for a while. Really couldn't get a clear pic thru all the branches.
