Near the mouth of the Santa Ana River. I could not belive my eyes, I had to turn around and go back and find a place to park. Watched him for about 10 minutes. Then whent to my friends house. Told him about it. He left to do an aron, when he returned he told me he had sighted him also. Check my location. I was jazzed about the return of the Red Tail Hawlk.

Aw man!! How about I come down and you show an old dog some good surfin spots an then you come up here an watch eagles? I have them looking over my shoulder at work. Honestly in the trees behind my current project. Ive seen nine on a seal carcass on the beach. See them almost every day. Magnificant creatures. I still stop an stare. Had one fly about 20 ft in front of me while sitting in my van eating lunch one day, and another sit in a tree an watch me eat lunch. They are just so spectacular!!

Took a drive with the family a couple of days ago and had one just about dive bomb the car - both times we went by it. Not that uncommon around here but still cool to see them.
I've also seen them looking there worst, picking throught the trash in Dutch Harbor, AK - they look like overgrown seagulls when in that scene. |

Around this time of the year we can usually see 20-30 bald eagles flying around down the river from our house about a mile. They are incredible to watch and unbelievably huge.
You guys get to see P-Cars every day... I guess we get crazy wildlife oh yeah and: (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ar15.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

I got to see one too! Aren't they beautiful. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wub.gif) And what big birds too!
There was a bald eagle that was residing in the open area near the local airport in the podunt town that I was from. The National Forest Service immediately band all deer and animal hunting in the area. I belive it was around for about 2 years. Was told it had a wing span of over 7 feet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif) Glad you got to see one in person guys. They are a very rare site. |

I lived in the Port Townsend/ Port Ludlow area of Wa back in the late 70's. I can remember hearing them coming before I'd see them. The whoosh of their wings against the air was phenomenal. First time I heard that it kinda scared me cuz I din't know what it was!

914 Wizard? No way. I got too much to learn. Group: Members Posts: 4,099 Joined: 21-April 03 From: Gig Harbor, WA Member No.: 598 |
I've got a funny eagle story in a sick sort of way.
A neighbor put a TV antenna up in the top of a tall fir tree that was very near their driveway. A mating pair of bald eagles picked this as a good site for a nest (very high, stable and a couple hundred yards from salt water). They returned for 2 years to raise a family. The next year osprey beat them to it and they've been there since. Unfortunately, for the people the eagles and osprey won't foul their nest so the peoples driveway and roof are covered with fish bones, and crap half of the year. They can't touch the tree or the nest since the birds are protected and thy can't sell because they have to disclose the situation. It's great for us in the area cause we geat to watch the birds but, these poor people are really paying a terrible price. Dave |

Only seen a few in my life. When we lived on Camano Island, the closest I ever got to one was when I saw one fly over me while sitting at a stop light. It was HUGE! I think they can get up to a 7ft wing span? Wow! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

Bald Eagle, Uhm, try the Hair Club for Birds. Nice to see mother nature. I've got little humming birds nesting, they are the 914's of the bird world, they can really turn on a dime. And like 914's they come in many many colors. I think I have even seen a Ravena Metallic Green humming bird, or as I likes to say, a hummin biord.

Is this the nest above the RR tracks along the Puyallup? Folks were always stopping to check it out about three years ago. I assumed it was an eagles nest. Nice road for the 914, too. |

Looks nice in pictures......... Group: Members Posts: 5,271 Joined: 5-March 04 From: Colorado Member No.: 1,753 Region Association: None |
if you want to see an eagle in action, try big bear lake, CA. the little black ducks (coots) walk the frozen lake and sometimes get stuck. then the bald eagles will come down and snatch them up for dinner. pretty cool site.

that road would be pioneer i think. volunteers built a number of nesting platforms. the puyallups have constructed a large salmon habitat area and the fish runs help to attract the birds. i'm about a mile or south of 512 in the summit area. did you ever check out the steam cleaner?

I go to Big Bear a couple of times a week and have never seen a bald eagle there. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif) But, I do see Blue Jays in the cold of winter. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif) |
