I think that the Eagle family just had dinner delivered. Fresh poultry.
it must have drank a potion. did it think it was wise to attack with the parent sitting right there?
Wow. That’s one hungry hawk, I suppose.
I’m always amused when I see “normal” sized birds harassing a crow that’s so much bigger than they are, and later see a crow harassing a hawk that’s twice or more his size.
Now, look at the hawk and how much smaller he is than Momma! Silly hawk.
Unless you live in Alaska or Montana, you just don’t get to see eagles and contemplate just how large they are.
Wow, I thought hawks were kinda big. That eagle is huge!
Poor hawk
Nature is a bitch, ain’t it?
Hey, now! We get to see eagles here in Washington, too. There is a bald eagle nest about 2 miles from my house that we drive and walk by regularly through the spring and summer. Sometimes a parent will do a flyover when we walk by to make sure we know that we are being watched. They are huge and so loud when they are only about 20 feet above your head. Watching the babies progress through the season is a real treat.
Is this home invasion pro or anti gun. I can’t tell.
Lessen learned: don’t fuck with Jersey.
Being the symbol of true Americana that they are, eagles don’t need a gun to protect their home, they just rip intruders to shreds with bare talons, and then feeds the juicy bits to the kids.
Seriously bad judgement by that hawk.
The footage is from New Jersey. Not even the rural part. Its in Hillbourgh NJ on the Doris Duke Estate now known as Duke Farms. You can watch the Eaglecam Live.
Pfffft. I saw a bald eagle casually wheeling over the Red River while crossing from Texas into Oklahoma. They’re making a real comeback.
Oregon, too. There are eagles nesting near the Willamette River a few blocks from us. Nice to see that they’ve come back down here. That said, they’re nearly as common as ravens in Alaska. In the fall, they congregate by the thousands in Haines, AK to feed on the spawned out salmon.
I’m on the valley edge of the SF Bay Area and we have and see plenty of golden eagles. We occasionally see a bald eagle.
I’ve seen bald eagles here in New Mexico. They’re not common, but every time I visit Bosque Del Apache Wildlife Reserve I see one or two.
Bald eagles congregate near the dams on the upper Mississippi River in the winter. I’ve seen 200 bald eagles in one day near Keokuk Iowa in January.
We have a significant population of Bald Eagles at Reelfoot Lake in Tennessee. Beautiful!
That video pulls up on my computer as being over two hours long, and is taking FOREVER to load; can someone give a roundabout time span to look at, please?
I’m not sure what you’re looking at, but the video linked in the OP is 3 minutes long.
Weird; this is the link that opens:
And it shows as 2:09:00. I wonder if it’s redirecting because I’m on my phone?
( ETA; I tried it on my iPad first, hence “computer” in my first post… didn’t want there to be any confusion. )
