Fly like an Eagle, Land like a Moose

For as long as I can remember, Bald Eagles have used my parents farm as a stop over on their way to their nesting grounds.  For the last few years we have had a family of 5 eagles stay with us for 3 to 4 weeks before they move on again.  We are sure they are the same birds as they are always the same dynamic to the group.  The two older (and much larger) eagles and then 3 younger ones.

It is neat to see as the years go by, how much they grow and change.  Last year the young ones had almost no white in their heads and tails.  This year you can see the distinct white feathers starting to show through.  They are truly majestic.  I love to go out there and watch them soar on the air currents and then swoop down to catch a fat gopher.  Or to listen to them chatter at each other.  Once in a while you hear a screech and know that someone ticked off the daddy.  It is absolutely incredible, and we are very lucky to host them.

Just thought I would share that with everyone.  It's really something special to me, and I hope they continue to come for many years in the future.

    Great.

    My father came from a farming family and for a few years, we ,lived in a really small village near their farms. It was a wonderful place to be a young child.

    (No bald eagles, though!)

      love the bald eagle and so many animals!


      sad that so many are now going unprotected because of the current republitard administration here in the usa.

      some species are already gone:

      "And some species have vanished. The Lake Sammamish kokanee, a landlocked sockeye salmon, went extinct in 2001 after being denied an emergency listing, and genetically pure Columbia Basin pygmy rabbits disappeared last year after Interior declined to protect critical habitat for the species."

          It is, and rare. It's really nice having a place out in the country to go to. There is a lot of wild life, and it's really special to see.
