BALD AND SHAVING FRIENDS
View allAll Photos Tagged baldness
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.
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.
The bald eagle is actually a sea eagle (Haliaeetus species) that commonly occurs inland along rivers and large lakes.

I was focusing on the head of the Eagle in its nest on the top of the tree to the left, when suddenly s/he took flight. I know this isn't a very good photo, but I was so thrilled to even get this shot.
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.
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.
(Haliaeetus leucocephalus). This young bald eagle was quite unconcerned by me standing at the bottom of his tree!
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.

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.
If you ever have been to Cape Henlopen, you know there is a very long fishing dock. It's probably a good half mile. Stretches out into the bay. I saw this eagle at the begining of it. Saw that it was very dark, small head and so on. Thinking it was maybe a golden, I took off to the other end. Half way there, still a golden, three quarters of the way, still golden. All the way to the end. NOPE. Still was nice to see a baldy so close.

I was lucky to observe and photograph Bald Eagles Courtship for the first time, Courtship is a time to develop and strengthen the pair bond, or form a new one. Scientists have observed some mating behaviors on wintering grounds, but have also seen males and females start courting in breeding areas.
Bald eagle pairs engage in a number of courtship rituals as they build their bond. The most famous and recognizable of these rituals is the "cartwheel courtship flight," this involves pair of eagles which will fly up high, lock talons and then get into a cartwheel spin as they fall toward the ground. This is nothing short of a visual delight, seeing it was amazing and being able to take few shots to share is a bonus.
Bald eagle population in Alberta is thriving, large number of eagles are wintering in Canada.
