Bald Eagles

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.

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.

Thanks so much to all who choose to look at and comment on my images. It's very much appreciated.
Bald Eagles are fun to see close in fields. Often they are near dead carcasses. In this case, I saw no carcass but blood seems to be on its bill.
Especially fun for me was seeing this one walk including some spurts at a faster pace.
Thanks for the visits, faves and comments its greatly appreciated.

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.
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.
