A bald eagle was sighted just recently in Newport Beach. Many of them live on Catalina Island where there is a breeding project going on. Went to Catalina on my neighbors boat and saw one perched up on a spire if rock. We thought it was a statue until it moved it's head. Beutiful animal!
Cheers, Elliot |

Yep, Pioneer. Human built platforms--I always thought the nest was kind of low. No steam as of yet.

Yep, Those of us in the Rockies and Pac Northwest are spoiled. I've got a Coopers Hawk and a Merlin duking it out for supremecy in my backyard, and there is a white Gyr Falcon wintering near my office, feeding on the feral pigeons that roost on the bank building across the parkinglot from me. I've seen her three or four times in the past two weeks. Most gorgeous bird you'll ever see. There are Bald Eagles all up and down the Yakima and Columbia rivers right up into town. They aren't as common as crows, but if you go down to the river you can count on seeing at least one. -Ben M. Kennewick Man |

We get 1000 or more that overwinter here just north of St. Louis, supposedly the second largest population of bald eagles in the US, next to southern OR/northern CA. Awesome animals.......and way better looking to the "original" national bird.

We used to live in Juneau, Alaska. I saw Bald Eagles daily on my drive to work. There was a nest on a cliff right next to my office entrance. I once got a great picture of several Bald Eagles diving at a dead salmon floating in Auke Bay about 10 feet in front of our boat. It is an incredible sight.

I saw one last week on the way back from Phoenix. I was playing a game with my 5 year old daughter to pass the time. I told her whoever spotted a bald eagle would win the game... sure enough we saw a bald eagle that day. Spectacular when you see them. I tried to explain to her that the bird was as big (or bigger) than she was.
They taste great with a little 5-spice powder and hoisin sauce served over a bed of couscous (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/chowtime.gif) |

This time of year in Florida we have a HUGE increase in the Snowbird population.
VERY slow moving, BIG pain in the ass to deal with, and hard of hearing. Paul |

As I writing this I am looking at a HUGE Brown eagle across the street from my house. I live right in the middle of Tampa in an old section of town with lots of trees and lakes. I normally see hawks and I see eagles every once in awhile. People don't think of Florida and eagles together, but it's rare when I don't see a Bald Eagle on the way to Sebring.
