Bald Eagles are Back in Louisiana

Was working at my desk and looked up and saw one about 30' from me at eye level. My office sits about 35' off the ground. I couldn't get pics on the first pass as he tried to grab a fish from the water, but he swung around and landed in a tree about 60' away and I was able to get a few pics.

fantastic pictures! I actually saw one last weekend by Weeks Bay. We were driving down the Intracoastal and one was circling pretty low right over the canal

I love seeing bald eagles. Such a beautiful and unique bird.

Bald eagles and swallow-tailed kites are a joy to spot. Kestrel's are another one that put a smile on my face. I'm not sure if they are more rare or inconspicuous.

Awesome pics. We see them periodically in Maringouin during duck season. Also saw a white hawk/eagle last year. Raptors are the shite.

I saw one last year on the Hermann park golf course in Houston. Huge birds.

I worked a blowout in Grand Bayou (no longer a settlement) near Paincourtville back in 2003. We had a bunch of registered ornithologists watching this breeding pair out in the swamp to make sure we weren't disturbing them. Those frickers would go out into the field, catch a snake and then fly right over the rig and show off their catch before heading back to the nest. Seemed like they were pretty well established and completely un-bothered by our presence. Beautiful to watch them though.
Great pics, wick.

Nice pictures. 
Maybe this weekend I will go check on a pair to see if they return again this year. They been coming/nesting on my place the last 6 years.
