BALD AND SHAVING FRIENDS
View allAll Photos Tagged Bald
Majestic adults of Bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) have blackish-brown body with white head and tail. Several stages of immature plumages aren't quite as majestic, from fully dark brown to messy and mottled with large patches of white. Look especially for white mottling on the belly on immatures. Scavenges and hunts near bodies of water.
This Bald Eagle found a fish on the ice and started eating it. When it left the ice it flew directly towards and over me to a Pine tree to finish the meal. Most of the photos had the wings clipped. The lighting is poor with a heavily overcast morning.
While out for a little drive today, we noticed 2 bald eagles sitting each on their own posts close to the road... of course I didn't have camera with me so I went to get it. When I returned, they weren't there. Found them moments later quite a distance away... oh well...it had been quite awhile since I had my camera out so it was all good.

My first BE of the autumn. I have seen quite a few before this but without the chance of any good shots. My annual trips to Bald Eagle country are still to come.

Thanks so much to all who choose to look at and comment on my images. It's very much appreciated.
This juvenile bald eagle was taken at the Cranberry Marsh Hawk Watch during migration. I happened to be on the beach when it came through and it flew right over my head. Needless to say all the ducks in the marsh took to the air and it was a toss up which I would photograph.

Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), majestic adults have blackish-brown body with white head and tail. Several stages of immature plumages aren't quite as majestic, from fully dark brown to messy and mottled with large patches of white. Look especially for white mottling on the belly on immatures. Scavenges and hunts near bodies of water. Soars with wings flat, like a large, dark plank. Head appears large in flight; projects far in front of wings. Surprisingly weak-sounding vocalization is a series of high-pitched whistles.
These swamp-dwelling goliaths can grow to about 120 feet tall. This one and others in this swamp are estimated to have sprouted in the year 999AD making them about 1000 years old. A distinctive feature of the cypress tree is the "knees" which it grows near its base. The reason for these is not fully understood (according to the signage at the site). It was 15-18 feet around and is located in one of only two sites in NC with original growth trees both of which were donated by the Francis Beidler family. It is hardly a wonder that almost all of the original growth Bald Cypress were cut down many years ago given their size and propensity to grow rather straight.
My two bird seasons are hummingbirds and bald eagles and all the other birds I watch are usually a byproduct from watching for them. This mature was fishing the dam to take fish back to her nest.

This is the closest I've been to a bald eagle, practically flew right into me, but was able to get one quick shot before she flew away. I went downstream toward where she flew and was able to get some shots of her perched in a tree as well (to follow).
A happy Eagle? Why yes, because this mature Bald Eagle just caught a fish in Kachemak Bay, but if you could read into the facial expression, I would say heavens no. But that's the issue with eagles, you can't tell anything from their expression!
