Yup, I blinked first.
Love their oh-so-serious looks and expressions. I had taken several shots of this bald eagle and I think he was weary of my clicks and attention.
He soon left, pic shown in comments.
Thanks for your looks though!
The male bald eagle keeping watch and protecting the nest from other predators. The male and female eagles mate for life.
falconry display at an event in Hamburg called 'British Flair'
For more photos from the British Flair have a look at the set on facebook:
This eagle is around 3 years old. Notice the bands on it's legs. The green band means that it is from New Jersey.
Milpitas Bald Eagle family has 2 eaglets this year. Unfortunately the younger one passed away last week. Eagle parents are checking the nest more frequently now to make sure the other eaglet is doing okay.
此地的白頭禿鷹家庭今年增加了兩位小禿鷹，很不幸年輕的那隻於上週夭折。因此雙親最近常常回家查看，希望年長的那隻一切安好。

Golden Eagle (male), Murcia
Spain, this eagle arrived in the mountains (4000ft) in 2006 as an adult, unforgettable experience seeing a wild one this close for the first time
This young Bald Eagle stayed busy trying to fend off the gulls that were consistently harassing him as he hunted along the coast at Yaquina Head Outstanding Wildlife Area.
Newport, Oregon.
Florida, USA
Admittedly, it was a big crop, but it was really nice to see the adult and the young eaglet be in the same space. I wonder what the adult might have been communicating to its offspring?

Thanks for visiting and for your faves and comments.
Not a great shot, lots of atmosphere distortion, but who cares. The Eagles have to win today. Two is better then one.
Happy New Year everyone as another year comes to an end.
The Indian eagle-owl, also called the rock eagle-owl or Bengal eagle-owl (Bubo bengalensis), is a species of large horned owl restricted to the Indian Subcontinent. They were earlier treated as a subspecies of the Eurasian eagle-owl. They are found in hilly and rocky scrub forests, and are usually seen in pairs. They have a deep resonant booming call that may be heard at dawn and dusk. They are typically large owls, and have "tufts" on their heads. They are splashed with brown and grey, and have a white throat patch with black small stripes.
This large owl with the distinctive face, large forward-facing eyes, horns and deep resonant call is associated with a number of superstitions. Like many other large owls, these are considered birds of ill omen. Their deep haunting calls if delivered from atop a house are considered to forebode the death of an occupant. A number of rituals involving the capture and killing of these birds have been recorded. Salim Ali notes a wide range of superstitions related to them but notes two as being particularly widespread. One is that if the bird is starved for a few days and beaten, it would speak like a human, predicting the future of the tormentor or bringing them wealth while the other involves the killing of the bird to find a lucky bone that moved against the current like a snake when dropped into a stream.Belief in these superstitions has led to the persecution of the species in many areas by tribal hunters. The capture of these birds is illegal under Indian law but an underground market continues to drive poaching.
The bus ride to the top was intense i wish we could of take our own car lol .
The Kehlsteinhaus (known as the Eagle's Nest in English-speaking countries) is a Third Reich-era edifice erected atop the summit of the Kehlstein, a rocky outcrop that rises above the Obersalzberg near the town of Berchtesgaden. It was presented to Adolf Hitler on his 50th birthday as a retreat and place to entertain friends and visiting dignitaries. Today it is open seasonally as a restaurant, beer garden, and tourist site.
Taken near Fairmont, British Columbia.
Many thanks for your visit and comments. They are very much appreciated.
They are fighting over a crab you see in the water. None of them knew what to do with it and never even cracked it open. The gulls did that for them.
A little gory. but I have never got an Eagle shot like this before.
This Eagle was perched on a power pole near the grain terminal eating a Pigeon. It was being harassed by several Magpies. At this point it decided to go elsewhere to dine in peace.
At the terminal site we usually see Eagles eating Pigeons they robbed from the Falcons. There was no Falcon activity, so I don't know how this one acquired the Pigeon.
