While riding on the ODT with my WOW (women on wheels) group. We saw this Baldy up close eating the remnants of a fawn. Most likely a cayote took it down originally.
Oh Deer!

We’re back!
My eagle pair are back and nest building. This was on a branch right near my window. He was looking for a tasty fish or duck for lunch.
“my” Eagle
I’ll share him with you (often). He comes to the branch of this tree just outside my window almost daily. I know its a he, because males are smaller and his mate is usually flying with him or nearby.
Dungeness Hunting Grounds
THis eagle would fly by low and then dip into the grass over and over. I thought it wa missing its prey…but when I zoomed in I realized that each time it had a small mouse or vol in its talons that it quickly ate before diving again.
Impressive size
When a Baldy flies just over your head, you are immediately impressed by its enormous wing span of 75 inches. I can only imagine what little creatures feel.

Hold on lil Juvie…
This juvenile bald eagle landed at the top of a younger tree out my window in the middle of a wind storm. You cant tell from this but it was swinging and swaying on a 4 ft arc. You can just see his yellow talons clinching the branch for dear life. I had to take this thru the window–I wasn’t going out there–pine cones were flying in like morters!
