Bald Eagles

Getting more common. I've seen quite a few. There is one that hangs out and has a nest in the brake in the corner of of 310 and i10 on the bonnet carret coming into nola

I see one around the house from time to time. I watched one grab a fish from the water a couple of years ago. He was 3 houses down and I got a great view. He flew to a tree on the other aide of the river and ate the fish in a tree for about 30 minutes.

ive seen about seven or eight in my entire life. they truly are beautiful.

while canoeing in Canada, I witnessed one land on a rock about 30 feet from me and eat a fish out of the lakes.


on opening weekend of duck season i saw three of them circling about 1000 yards away from me. i know once they find a mate they mate for life so my only guess is they were teaching one of their young to hunt.

truly majestic

there are about 8-10 that hang out around my work

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that Louisiana has the 2nd highest eagle population next to
Alaska


I know Lafourche/Terrebonne have hundredes

How common are they in Louisiana?

I hunt below Terrebonne parish and go down the Atchafalaya to get to my lease. During duck season, I see them almost every trip down the river. It is very common to see them down along the coast. Occasionally I have seen them perched on the channel markers in the river. Awesome sight.

I have been seeing them in dularge a lot at the pass couple of years , one was by dr beatrous rd eating some road kill I never realized how big they were

One landed in our neighbor's tree just off of the LSU lakes something like 15 years ago. I'm pretty sure my jaw dropped when I saw it. Fortunately they are increasingly common in the lower 48 and I see several a year here in Georgia; especially on the coast. Watching 2 bald eagles tag team an osprey with a fish is a lot of fun.

I drive hwy 90 and see 4 or 5 of them every day. See them while deet hunting and fishing below Morgan City all the time as well.
