Look what I just found in my back yard.

Good story. Would read again.

Sweet You automatically displace current president if you see a bald eagle and rub its head. Go for it!

I've had eagles show up before in my yard, but never bald eagles.

 

[lxskllr]

That's cool. They're very neat birds, but their eating habits are less than magnificent :^D

I've been seeing more bald eagles the past few years. I think the population has been growing around here lately.

 

[rocadelpunk]

pretty.

 

[waggy]

very cool.

lxskllr: yeah they are growing. they just had a neat show about them on one of the nature channels. they said the population is far larger then it has been in recorded history and growing.

 

[Colt45]

it's gonna preemptively attack.

 

[spidey07]

NICE!

Do you have a body of water nearby? I've never seen one away from a large body of water. About seeing more of them, me too. I think they are off the endangered list. There is a mating pair on a lake I fish. 10,000 dollar federal fine for even going anywhere near there nest/area. Got to see them mate, crazy birds do it when they're flying.

-edit-
Google tells me that a pair mates for life and they don't like humans. If disturbed or humans are in close proximity with them they will abandon the nest.

Blast it a few times with a shotgun, then call 911 and say it was trespassing.

Same thing I'd do if I saw a flying pig.

 

[MBrown]

Kewl!

 

[arcenite]

That's awesome. I've never seen one.

I wonder if they have any idea that they're so symbolic

If they did I bet they would be real assholes.

Have you talked to a bald eagle lately?
They're the New Yorkers of the bird world.

I think that might be the blue jay :^D

 

[Random Variable]

He's going to rape you.

 

[Leros]

When I was at a certain town in Alaska (I forget where), there were bald eagles EVERYWHERE. It was neat.

 

[Number1]

I raise you this Bird

Better looking, better tasting.

Slightly out of focus but it still looks good.

 

[SilentZero]

Nice!!

A squirrel would just be like a few potato chips to us. You should see the size of the fish they pull out of the water.
