Bald Eagles
View allAll Photos Tagged baldness
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.
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.
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 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.
This juvenile bald eagle flew over Greenway with a fish then settled on this branch to eat it. Unfortunately, the branch was on the other side of the lake. By the time I had made my way around to it, this is all that was left.
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).
