Ten years ago I never saw one around here, now I see em almost every week!
Beautiful
Great photo! What a badass bird.
What camera and what lens are you shooting?
🙂🙂🙂
Canon T7i....Sigma 150-500mm lens
Sweet! Any golden eagles out your way?
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Saw one flying across the highway this morning. We watched one gathering nest materials in the pasture several years ago. They nest about 3 miles from us, in a big cypress tree near a bayou.
I have seen a few Golden Eagles over the past 6-7 years. I thought they were immature bald eagles but after closer examination of some photos the appear to be Golden 🦅
Golden eagles are much, much larger.

That is what was throwing me at first.....they were big so I assumed they were immature male bald eagles. I finally got a really good look at one a few years ago. It was snowing and at the edge of my hayfield a Golden was working over a gut pile from my hunt the day before...from the pictures I took I was able to figure out it was a golden eagle...
bastards got pretty good at stealing downed ducks before the dog could swim out to retreive them at Rend Lake in southern Il.
LOTS of eagles across north MO and southern Iowa following the waterfowl migration. Took a trip up toward Moline Il last weekend and I'd guess we saw 30-40 eagles. Fifty years ago, Dad would put a note on the calendar if someone reported an eagle sighting.
