Bald Eagle question

<< < (2/3) > >>

bjrogg:
Pretty cool DC. I've seen a quite a few eagles around here but still haven't found a nest. Hope you get to keep watching them.

We have some nesting pairs here in NE Kansas at the lakes and along the Kaw river. The Winter is when we see more eagles since they come down for "vacation". I've seen them sitting in a tree just 75 yards from my house a few times. Boy, does that rile up the local crows...  :)

PEARL DRUMS:
They are like buzzards around me. Our lake will have dozens and dozens at ice out. They love winter kill gizzard shad. They nest all around the house within 6-8 miles, mostly on the river in the big cottonwoods. My buddy counted 42 of them in a 40 acre field at one time this early spring. The field floods every spring, so I'm sure they are eating dead or dying trapped fish.

BowEd:
Eagles here more so in the winter time.Many times feeding right along the road ditch on road killed deer.Robin likes to take pictures then.A friend of mines' family of hunters place all their butchered deer carcasses out in a field to watch them.Eagles like all wild animals are opportunists.It's tough out there most times.

bjrogg:
I just was looking over my Navy beans and saw a pair. Like Pearl said they like the big cottonwood trees. Ed I always put my carcasses from hunting and trapping out in my field. The crows find them and everything else soon find them to. One morning several years ago, I was approaching the area and wondering what was feeding on the carcasses. As I got closer saw it was a bald eagle. About twenty feet away a large hawk, another thirty feet away several seagulls. Wasn't hard to determine the pecking order. Next time I checked there was a pair of eagles. Now I put them closer to the house. Even so they are hard to get a good picture with my phone. They do have sharp eyes. Very hard to get close to.
