I couldn't believe what I seen this evening...About 3 crows where chasing a bald eagle over my house.Then a few minuties later some other hawk or eagle with gray/gold feathers flew over....Hope the city zoo didn't have a few of there birds of prey escape...They are beauiful birds...

 

better cover up that pretty paint job!!!

 

I also saw the same thing two days ago. The Eagle picked up a piece of afterbirth and flew away with it. (was in a field with 100's of cows calving) and the crows or ravens whatever they were chased the eagle for a long time, even nipping at him a bunch. Was pretty cool.

 

I seen pictures of a area in BC that has few protected bald eagles.Never seen a free flying bald eagle in my life...

 

Surprised that the crows were putting the run on the eagle, and not the other way around.

 

Yeah, crazy crows, I saw one in the Edmonton zoo the other day - they are huge!! I hate seeing wild birds cooped up, especially birds of prey... wonder if there are any other sightings because I've heard they are making a comeback to their historic range - could be migrating on the way to Alaska or something.

 

I seen a golden eagle when I went back home to Sask 4 years ago....That was rare,but I guess they are also making a come back....Good thing that all eagles and hawks are protected...

 

A few years ago, we were fishing at the heart lakes and I saw an bald eagle swoop down and grab a jack fish out of the water. Amazing!!!

 

When I seen this it made me remember one time we were sledding, and my buddy had a bright orange helmut on. And a Bald eagle and a owl attacked him that day.. funnier than a fight,, trying to grab the helmut, and my buddy freaking out,, last day he ever wore that helmut too

 

Dave, I seen a few wild bald eagle in the Calgary-diamond cove area, by the river but that must have been a few years ago. They are one big bird, once they get the wing open up. Crows/ravens will go after anything that looks tasty.

 

Last summer when my family crossed the border from New Brunswick into Maine, a bald eagle flew right over the truck while we were going over the bridge. A great welcome back from our trip into eastern Canada!

 

marathon, you drove the entire way from maryland to new bruinswick? Good job buddy. I want to drive the east coast one day.

 

I worked at a fishing lodge for a couple of summers. Some biologists would come up there and band young eagles at around 45 days old. I was able to go along and help (watch). At 45 days those birds are nearly full grown. At 60 days they start flying. There were around 20 nesting pairs on that lake.
I agree a fascinating bird!

That would be a great experience..I really like the birds of prey...Eagles,hawks and owls...

 

We live up just under Alaska, when the salmon are in the river you see any where from 50 to 100 or my bald eagles a day, after a while you dont even pay much attention, the crows chase them now as they are nesting, In the winter here they hang out at the dump eating garbage, no so pretty as on the river but they survive. always fun watching them fight over fish with the gull`s
