Had one in my back yard a few months ago around satsuma. Was trying to get fish from my pond. Was pretty awesome.

Do you though? His tail wasn’t as white as his head but it was a noticeably different color.



What bird would you say it is then?

There are 2 nesting pair on my farm in Georgia. It is awesome to see them!

My grandfather lived in Pawhuska Ok. I took him out to the Bluestem Prairie and we saw one. He was in his 90’s and said that was the first he had ever seen in OK!

Growing up never ever saw any and I was outside a lot hunting and fishing. Now it's nothing burger, they are everywhere, and I have found several nests around here and Texas. Love to see em and have watched some cool stuff they do like chase geese and ducks and dive down for fish.

Does it count if they are not "bald" yet? I saw a full grown juvenile with no white feathers on it's head and got excited because I thought it was the rare Golden Eagle. A more seasoned bird lover laughed and said it was just Bald Eagle in it's awkward teenage years and that most of them die before their head pubes come in. Sad but true.

Not only are you a d**k, you’re more full of shite than a Christmas turkey. Bald eagles have different markings dependent on their age and other factors. The white head is constant, but the tail and wing tips are not. What satisfaction do you get from spewing misinformation? Do you not know how to search Google?

Used to see one regularly off of I-10 near Bonnie Carrie Spillway.

Last weekend one flew over my house in Auburn, AL when I was outside throwing the baseball with my son. Truly an American experience.

Agreed. Clearly a peregrine falcon.

We have a pair nesting around our place. Saw one on Christmas Day south of Eagle Lake eating a dead roadkill possum. Most majestic roadkill scene ever.

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


Sightings in Oklahoma are becoming more common.

I’m sure there are, but are there any other animal species that naturally live in both Alaska and South Louisiana?

Firelake GC in Shawnee.

It's a drive, but it is always in great shape and easy to get a tee time. Lots of blind water though..

I've never played there, but would love to someday.

I live at Cedar Valley which is 10 miles west of Guthrie.
