Tennessee Trapper Tom Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Excellent photos Guitar Slinger. It's one of the things I enjoy about the place I bought. We have a pair that regularly fish our lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Getting thick as crows around here. (Mid-Missouri, close to Missouri River.) As all manner of predatory birds. My sister and her husband drive around and take pictures of them. I got a picture of a golden eagle from one of my trail cams. It's amazing how much bigger they are than bald.

Noz Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I'm always astounded by their size. Good photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Feral dowg ran down and killed this deer. I put a trail cam by it to record what came to it a total of 22 different dowgs came to eat on it. Only one has a collar. The owner came looking for his dowg after it had been gone a week. It's the big one with the collar I don't know if he recovered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the big one with the collar I don't know if he recovered it. We had a large doe dead of strange circumstances. Unmarked body with orange foam from mouth and nostrils. No dogs and no coyotes touched her but a pair of eagles claimed her and they succeeded in reducing her to a pile of bones over about 10 days. Even the turkey vultures refused to touch her.

Ricochet Ryder, SASS # 71353 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Fantastic!! Like Dutch Wheeler's question -- where around here are you finding these? I'd love to go and watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Guess I will have to take the camera over to the lake and see if the pair that nested there in the past have returned. Thanks for the pictures, GS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I have seen Bald Eagles in California and Oregon and every time I do my camera is always somewhere else. Great photos Guitar Slinger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually they're as much scavengers as predators.They will take a fish from another bird before fishing themselves and are happy to dine on dead rabbits, coyotes and such. (But we prefer our national symbol to be more majestic and fierce than that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoss Carpenter Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 I live on a Golf course on a small lake in Central FL. We have a ton of Bald Eagles here, Have seen a few snatch fish out of our pond, stop up on the green (16th Hole) and chow down! The other day a young Eagle even took a Squirrel out of the yard. I love them, on Dove! Cheers Hoss C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitar_slinger Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Thanks for the kind words Pards. Several have asked where. I live in Northern Kentucky just south of Cincinnati. Most of these were shot within 45 minutes of my home. Up at Brookville lake in Indiana, Hamilton, Ohio, and the marinas along Kellogg Avenue. I've seen a couple at the Fernald Preserve just west and north of Cincinnati. The first shot was taken at Macgee Marsh just outside of Toledo Ohio. One thing I love about being retired is grabbing a camera and heading out to the fields, marshes and hiking trails to see what I can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 By golly now those are delightful! Eagles won't get their Great White Bald until they hit three years of age, we have several immature birds around our plant in Elyria. Never realized how big they were until I found myself ten foot from one of 'em. It sailed overhead and I nearly proned out when it did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 Howdy, Why is it that I always get some weird options I never want??? Anyhoo, that's what posting pix is all about. Eagles are around if you look. Bald like fishin spots. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
