    Holy Moly! He is stunning!!!

    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!
    ...RIP, our sweet Gini...

    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.

    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!


    I think I'd be a lil "nerbus" if that guy was *watchin* me eat!

    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* 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.

    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!
