Out My Window: a Golden Eagle - Comments

Wow, we have a bald eagles nest across the field from our house, but you have to view it with the scope. Gorgeous bird the Eagle. Thank you for sharing.

I saw this guy flying around last week just a few miles away. I stopped right in the middle of the road to watch him circling, and so did the oncoming car. Majestic and truly awe-inspiring.

One of my most treasured memories is stopping the car to watch two wedge-tailed eagles doing their 'mating dance' above the highway.

The likelyhood of seeing an eagle here in Montreal is very small, especially in a city neighbourhood. But a few years ago I went to the back of my apartment building to put out some recycling. It is just lanes, concrete and balconies. It was winter. There in the snow not far from the garage door was some sort of small falcon eating a pigeon (I guess). That felt like a gift. What the sight of an eagle must be I can only surmise.

No Eagles here, just Tom turkeys almost as tall as I and Sandhill Cranes, plus Greater and Lesser Egrets, etc. Love to see them all and more. I like to think that God created them and told us to take care of them. Now, we refuse to believe He did and have to kill them, if they crap on a Fairy Shrimp!

I've seen wild turkeys just a few miles down the road, but never on my own property. Not sure what the difference is to them! -rc

Sure beats Pasadena from floating in your pool! My sister sends photos of a moose and her babe from her backyard in Jackson Hole. You guys DO know how to live! I actually came eyeball to eyeball with a bald eagle on Lopez Island coming around a bend on a bluff. He was sitting in a huge fir tree. I don't know who was more startled. We both froze. We do have an eagle's nest in a fir tree in our neighborhood down by Lake Washington, but our neighbors are much closer together than yours!!

Fantastic pictures of a beautiful bird. The symbol of a once proud nation.

We're blessed in NE Iowa to have lots of eagles. A few springs back some babies were learning how to take off from the lane in front of our house. There is a web cam near our fish hatchery in an aerie.

Thank you for sharing the pics. As a long haul trucker I get to see some incredible sights of wildlife but rarely when I can get a pic! The one time a co driver happened to see a bald eagle I missed it completely.
The only 'wildlife' I get pics of is my Siamese / Persian cat, Mr MeowGhi who travels with me.

Even her in Los Angeles we have interesting wildlife. My own urban neighborhood features skunks, raccoons, possums, and coyotes. Some of the downtown high rise buildings have falcons living on the roofs and ledges, and I believe there is at least one webcam trained on a nest.
