re: Ever seen a Bald Eagle in the wild?

I see eagles often driving by the dump north of Baton Rouge on Scenic. Buzzard-like indeed.

Driving through Southern Arkansas and saw what appeared to be a small child standing on the dam of a pond. It was actually an eagle. Someone told me there are bald eagles in that area so I assume it was one.

Have seen a good many bald eagles in Natchitoches Parish on the Clear Lake portion of Black Lake and there are some on Sibley Lake which is the water supply for the city of Natchitoches.

In Alaska they were everywhere along the coast in SE Alaska.

There’s a nest on the levee about 3 miles south of tiger stadium. Look straight, eagles nest, turn right, see Death Valley.

See them all the time between Oct and April- ish in St. Charles parish. They hang out on top of the power lines on Airline between the spillway and 310. You can see them circling over the golf course at Cypress Lakes. The coolest thing I ever saw in terms of bald eagles was when I was exiting 310 at airline headed towards Norco, there were 3 of them sitting on the levee to the right.

I know someone who lives across from the nesting pair in Metairie. They have returned to the same nesting spot for a few years in a row. They have their offspring and then kick them out the nest when they’re ready. It’s odd that happens right off of Kawanee.

Yep. See them all time when I go fishing. One flew right over our boat the last time I took my son out. Very cool! I’ve also caught their calls on my Merlin Bird ID app.

Saw one west of Alexandria flying along the highway towards leesville. Beautiful

Yes they are all over south Louisiana
We have a family of them in the Madisonville on the Lake area.

Pretty regularly when I lived in NWLA.

Can you imagine if we went with Ben Franklin’s idea to have the TURKEY as our national bird??

I used to never see them in the wild growing up. They are much more common now. I saw one right by the Audubon Bridge in New Roads not long ago.
