We saw two, maybe three, today when in a regional park. One flew overhead, then perched in a tree where we could watch it. We watched for a while, then walked around some more. As we were about to leave we saw two flying. What a day!

About this

Bald eagle

A bald eagle in the wild is a striking sight, soaring high with its massive wingspan and distinctive white head and tail contrasting against its dark brown body. These majestic raptors are often found near rivers, lakes, and coastal areas where they hunt for fish and small mammals. Their piercing yellow eyes and powerful talons make them formidable hunters and symbols of freedom. Watching a bald eagle glide effortlessly through the sky or perch regally on a tall tree is a truly awe-inspiring experience.
