I never had, until yesterday. Sightings in Oklahoma are almost unheard of. We see hawks and kites all the time but at first I was like.. that’s not a hawk or a kite

We would have then in our trees at the lake house all of the time. I would not let my house dog out alone because of them. Beautiful creatures.

Seen a few here in Southern Arkansas. My best memory of one was when I was fishing off the Arkansas River and I saw one stretch his wings and leave his perch at the top of a tree. Beautiful animals

A few times when we were canoeing/camping on rivers. It was awesome every time.
Posted on 1/26/25 at 7:55 am to Naked Bootleg
Yep. They’re awesome.

I see them almost daily now around BR and NO. Had two different ones fly right over my car on Friday and Saturday, About 50’ off the ground.

Yes, people do confuse them around water for Osprey often though.

Ther were some eagles nesting in a neighborhood in Metairie.
Posted on 1/26/25 at 7:58 am to Naked Bootleg
Yes.
Posted on 1/26/25 at 7:59 am to Naked Bootleg
Yes they're about like buzzards here

I hate to be a d**k, but that isn't a bald eagle. It is an eagle, but the tips of the wings and tail have to be white also to be considered a bald eagle. It is a beautiful eagle though. We have many of them in the Atchafalaya swamp that are the same, the head looks like a bald eagle, but apparently they are not considered a true bald eagle.

Yes, pretty regularly. There is a nest o. The spillway bridge on I-10. There is also a couple of nests in rhe park on the north shore. Huge birds, amazing creatures.

It was on the golf course. Made up for the shitty round I was having!
Posted on 1/26/25 at 8:01 am to Naked Bootleg
Yup. See them flying over my road from time to time. Had no idea we had them in the Mobile area until put moved to my new house.
Posted on 1/26/25 at 8:02 am to Naked Bootleg
There used to be a big nest right by Pirate's Cove on Toledo and you would see them flying around and hunting
Posted on 1/26/25 at 8:04 am to Naked Bootleg
I’ve seen them flying over Lake Conroe. National Forest area.

I see them every now and then at Bear Branch Reservoir not too far from there. Even saw one with a bass in its mouth while I was getting skunked on the water.
