The latest yard visitor...pics

The local raven population was making even more noise than usual this evening so I went to investigate what was causing the uproar.

Ravens don't like eagles!

Eagles do like caribou scraps though, which is what I think attracted this guy. A friend gave me a bunch of fresh 'bou bones this afternoon. The eagle was hanging out in Tehya's pen watching her work on some ribs!

The dogs don't care that he's here; the cats aren't impressed. They aren't allowed in their cat run until the eagle has moved on!

Gorgeous!!!!! I just adore seeing these gorgeous birds around, unlike you tho, I have yet to get a pic! Awsome!!:love:

Wow!! :D That is awesomely impressive! :D I wish I could see a bald eagle around here. :D

Holy Moly! He is stunning!!! :eek: :love:

Would he brave the dogs to snag a piece of Tehya's leftovers?

GORGEOUS!!!

My parents and brother just came back from an Alaskan + Canadian cruise and my brother got a few pictures of eagles up there. WOW! I cannot imagine seeing them in person, in normal, everyday life. WOW!! They're so impressive and symbolic to me.

Thanks for sharing 'him' with us! :)

How fun! We have bald eagles at a reservoir about an hour from here, but I have never seen one that close except for ones in zoos because of injuries.

You can...you just have to know where to look. I've only seen one since I've moved here.

Awesome pictures! I love birds of prey

We have a Hawk or a Falcon pair that nests every year in a high tree in
the woods across the road from the Ranch.
I've watched them *hunt* smaller birds - they'll circle high above - then
*swoop* down and make a mid-air *GRAB* :eek: of the unlucky meal.

If The Birds were hunting while Smokey and Bowser were out; the Mutts
would start looking over their shoulders, then SIT and stare up for a minute ...
then both would Beat Feet for the porch and *knock* to come in!
Cinder never seemed too concerned - but would join the other two on the porch.

Now with lil Heidi (MiniMutt) here - I guess I really need to worry about our
big feathered neighbors.

Cool pics. Ive had an eagle in my yard and my dogs went nuts. My pics arent nearly as good.

SO COOL:D Don't see sights like that around here!
Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful! Glad you went to investigate and got photos!

We don't have those around, we doe have some hawks. I have to be outdoors with Ozzy. At barely 10 pounds, he would be a target; the hawk may not be able to lift him, but it would try, and then I would have mega vet bills. So one of us is always outdoor with Ozzy.

I can certainly understand the cats aren't permitted outdoors until the eagle has moved on!

Awesome shots!!!

WOW!!! What a beautiful and regal bird and your photography skills are excellent! Thank you for sharing! ;)

Wow!! How really cool!!!!!!!

I never realized the dark brown/black feathers are tinged in gold. Beautiful.

What a magnificent animal.

Yeah! What she said!

Wow! Great pictures of him/her!

There are a few nesting pair here in my area, I've only seen one. He was nice enough to circle the car after I opened the sunroof to get a better look at him! ;)

The beautiful photos you share never cease to amaze me. What a magnificent eagle. Thank you for sharing.

:cool:

Good thing you didn't know what he was *thinking* at the time >>>

1) Can I reach in far enough ??

2) Will she fit through that hole in the roof ??

3) She could be dinner for the WHOLE Family !!

:D

What a gorgeous guy! You got such great pictures!
We have 2 mature bald eagles that visit our yard almost daily. We have a few Juvenile bald eagles too, but they don't frequent our yard as often.
