Where I live, we have lots, and lots of Bald Eagles. They never go ground level, I’ve only seen an eagle on the ground one time, and that was when it was released from a cage at a native ceremony. Neat picture, but I don’t think it’s real.

Really? Then I guess you don't want to hear the story of myself feeding McDonald's french fries to one standing in a dumpster up in Alaska....

I see them sitting in the fields and on gravel bars often.

On a trip to Alaska I had seen Eagles on the ground. I do not know if it is natural or not, but it is certainly not impossible.

They catch fish at lakes around my house and eat them on the beach, then sit on the beach chairs and groom themselves. They generally own their territory and tolerate us as onlookers.

Near Gardnerville Nevada there is a place along highway 395 where eagles can often be seen on the ground. All types, including Bald. It is a Spring calving area for cattle and the eagles feed on the placentas.

Just thinking the same. Ancient Rome would’ve said it was portentous, (if it was real).

Shot this fella while coming back from an airboat ride on Lake Kissimmee in Central Florida.
He is eating an armadillo. Or as we call them, "possum on the half-shell."

I have seen them often in my travels at ground level and even found these fellows floating on an ice flow last July in Alaska.

I have seen lots of eagles on the ground eating. Just saw one sitting on a deer on the side of the road, eating it. I assume the deer was hit by a car yet it was 100 feet from road, so either it ran a little before dropping or the eagle dragged it away from road.

Neat picture, but I dont think its real.
I read the article and the photographer said he took many photos from different angles and that this was the best one. I've seen eagles too, never perching that low and they certainly don't hang around when a human is in close proximity to take the photos "from all angles" that he claims..........
I don't think it's real either.....

In a related article, the photographer said he was following a crow that was flying eratically when he spotted the eagle.
I'm kind of a wildlife buff and if that eagle was indeed there, that crow would have called in a flock of his buddies and they would have tormented that eagle until they drove it out of the county........
I've seen them do that countless times. I'll see a red tail hawk soaring then from out of the nearby woods will come a crow cawing and heading straight for the hawk then before you know it there's a flock of them........

L have seen Bald Eagles ground level several times while im fishing . I walked right up on one. I was not paying attention and neither was the Eagle. Her was eating a rather large striped bass. surprised the heck out of both of us.
It was an awesome experience.

Where I live, I see plenty of eagles on the ground, feasting on roadkill carcasses.
