Wow—a magnificent pair.

12 years ago we saw bald eagles in Idaho. We were blown away.

Now they are showing up a lot more all over the US which is great. My kids saw 2 flying over our house this weekend.

Heck, when we lived in FL in the early 70s, alligators were not a common site. From what I hear now, they are like pigeons in cities now.

Wonderful photo. Thanks for sharing.

There is a bald eagle nesting site near me being maintained by the Audubon Society and others. Last year there were two hatchlings. Hoping for more this year.

I see bald eagles all the time in Florida. I live in Sarasota and they’re common. When I go to Orlando for work I see them there, too. Turkeys, boars, deer, gators, coyotes, pythons, iguanas, it’s a freaking zoo here!

I can remember my first bald eagle sighting as kid,,, on the coast of Georgia in the early 70’s...

We have quite a few Eagles in upstate NY located around the various rivers. Their nests are huge, 6ft by 6ft weighing up to a ton.

Bald eagles hunt the Mississippi off the backside of my property. I can see them cruising just above the tree tops and there are a couple of nests.

Big birds...

I say every American flag picture is best if its very own eagle is flying by. This one from across our lake. (I pray these links don't break.)

And this one from his perching in our cottonwood tree about 60 feet from my window.

The “true” story of how the Eagle became our national bird instead of the turkey...

We see them all the time where I live and I live in the heavily populated I-94 corridor in southern Michigan.

We see them all the time in WA state. We saw them everyday when living in SE Alaska. Not so majestic when you see them feeding at the garbage dump though..they are a scavenger.

Bald Eagles have made a tremendous comeback, and in 2007 were removed from the endangered species and threatened species lists.

Still protected, of course, and possession of a single Eagle feather, even if it fell off the bird as it flew over your head, is a $25,000 fine. (Unless you are a native American with permission.)

You can see bald eagles within the city limits of Seattle.

Very close to the Mississippi here in Il. I've had them in my trees. I have seen nearly 100 at a time by the locks near me and heard on the radio that there are around 600 around the locks in the Illinois / Iowa Quad Cities right now. One of my Chicago buddies commented after seeing them all over that if you didn't know what they were you would think they were a pest!

[Windflier]

In Denton, huh? That’s about 50 miles from me. Hope they migrate down to my area of Texas. I’ve never seen one.

[Ditto]

There are two nesting pairs of Bald Eagles in Pittsburgh now. One pair on a hill side above the Allegheny river and another pair above the Monongahela river.

The pair on the Monongahela successfully raised 3 chicks last summer and 2 chicks the year before.

A bald eagle killed a woman’s Chihuahua the other day in Spring, Texas just north of Houston.
