Scout Sonnor Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was out wandering around in Mammoth Cave National Park today, looking for something that might make a decent picture, and this fellow landed in a tree almost over my head and posed for me for a few seconds. Is this a good sign to start the new year or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apache Hawk 60642 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Where I work is on the banks of the Mississippi River. It's not very wide at that point and freezes over. But when it thaws and a little stream opens up, Bald Eagles swarm all over the place. Nothing un common to see bout 8 to 12 a day, that time of year. And when they mate, they look like dots in the blue sky. They will seperate just before they hit the ground. The is a lake near by that has a nest and they always come back year after year, raise two chicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I went to the Arkansas Leadslinger's New Years Eve shoot Saturday and got to pull of of the highway and watch a pair of eagles eating a coyote (road kill) just off of the pavement of Missouri Highway 37 on the South edge of Seligman, Missouri. Cool birds I keep this website on my computer year around. We watched this pair of eagles from first egg laid until the third chick reluctantly left the nest in 2011. Nest is about 6 feet all and 6 feet across. Estimated weight of 1500 lbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I was bicycling in Big Bend NationalPark once when a golden eagle flew between me and another cyclist. Wingspan and all, he was big. I suppose he could have been a juvenile bald eagle before his head changed color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hacker, SASS #55963 Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Everytime I see a Bald Eagle, I am glad that Benjamin Franklin didn't get his way. He wanted the wild turkey as our national bird. Even so , I do admire Mr Benjamin Franklin. Yet I think a raptor makes a great national bird.
