Bald Eagles

I'm sure many of you have seen bald eagles while hunting/fishing in Louisiana, but I never have - until yesterday afternoon. I was in my box stand around 4:30 and I watched one fly in lazy circles for about 10 minutes and then fly off. Majestic looking bird! How common are they in Louisiana?

I saw one while fishing with my dad on Belle River when I was young

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've seen a lot of them . Mostly at Sardis Lake, but saw one last weekend near Crowder while riding around and drinking some beer looking for ducks...

I've never killed a Bald Eagle. Wonder if they're as fun as dogs to shoot

Back when I worked on the river, I was going down the Ohio river. We were out on the barges working, and saw a bunch of coots going crazy in front of us. When we got closer we saw an eagle hovering above them, trying to grab one. We got dead even with him before he saw us and he literally went from 15 to 100 ft in the air in bout 4 sec.

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.

I have had one actually scare up some gadwalls to shoot. I am going to Burks over New Year's.
Yeah, baby!!!

Spotted Owls are much better, and make great gumbo.

For your sake, I really hope you didn't shoot the wrong bird
Have fun on your hunt man. Keep in touch and let me know how it goes. I'll be around...

Guests can't shoot bucks. Hoping my son gets a doe for some meat.

Well, if it doesn't work out. Give me a shout. He can come shoot one for sure at my place if he wants to...

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

They had started to reappear in numbers across N. La before I left. Awesome creatures. Great photo subjects.
