Bald Self-Portrait

We’re so blessed to be able to watch our local bald eagles from our home. I used to be able to hear them but being deaf in one ear and difficulty hearing in the other, I don’t hear their shrieks anymore. I really miss their beautiful voices!
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.
May you soar on eagle wings, high above the madness of the world.
~ Jonathan Lockwood Huie
The American bald eagle was adopted as the national bird symbol of the United States of America in 1782. The bald eagle (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus) was chosen for its majestic beauty, great strength, long life, and because it's native to North America.
Thanks for your visit and comments, much appreciated! Have a great day!
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.
The bald eagle is actually a sea eagle (Haliaeetus species) that commonly occurs inland along rivers and large lakes.

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.

Little stare contest with this fellow! I was able to get very close, one step at a time, took me good 10 minutes to approach him slowly, seating on ground with minimum movement possible. Finally he said its enough with wing ready to fly, I stopped and taken this shot. As you can see we had firm eye contact through out this session. hope you enjoy it.
Bald Eagles can live a long time. The oldest recorded bird in the wild was at least 38 years old when it was hit and killed by a car in New York in 2015. It had been banded in the same state in 1977.
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.

Thanks so much to all who choose to look at and comment on my images. It's very much appreciated.
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!

Advent
Es treibt der Wind im Winterwalde
die Flockenherde wie ein Hirt
und manche Tanne ahnt, wie Bälde
sie fromm und lichterheilig wird
und lauscht hinaus. Den weissen Wegen
streckt sie die Zweige hin - bereit
und weht dem Wind und wächst entgegen
der einen Nacht der Herrlichkeit.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Ich wünsche euch allen einen friedlichen und
freudvollen 1. Advent in kuscheliger Wärme und strahlenden Kerzenglanz.
