I live in Wisconsin about 10 miles from Lake Michigan. I see Bald Eagles regularly. There are two nesting pairs close by. Last week, I saw 3 flying over my house. Beautiful birds.
4:48 Coeur D' Alene, Idaho is pronounced "core duh lane". It is a name given by 19th century French fur trappers to the local tribe and the word is said to mean "heart of the awl"
Was about to say that, appears French, and the "proper" pronunciation for the word "coeur" or "heart" involves a sound that basically does not exist in the English language.
In French, it's pronounced somewhat like "cayr dah lenn" except the 'r' is pronounced in the back of the throat like the "ch" in German words like "Bach", and "cayr" is just a loose approximation since the vowel sound is like a cross between "ay", "ah", and "eh". You can look up audio of the pronunciation by native French speakers on many websites including this one.
Benjamin Franklin, was a pretty creative founder, he said that the bald eagle, ‘he is a bird of bad moral character’, and, that ‘the turkey is a much more respectable bird.’ We decided to eat it instead. 😂
Bald Eagles are opportunistic feeders and prefer to steal their food a lot of times rather than hunt, if possible 😂 So, bad moral character does kind of resonate, though they are pretty bad a$$
I moved here to Minnesota about seven years ago. I was amazed the first time I saw a bald eagle. They are really something to behold. On our property, about 30-40 yards from our house, is a really huge tree. At the top of that tree is an eagle's nest. It's enormous. They come back every year to lay their eggs and raise their babies. If you walk around the base of the tree, you can see fish bones all around. On UA-cam they have a channel that is live coverage of an eagle's nest. It's really interesting to watch. It's on 24/7, I believe.
If you're near the Cities, go to Kaposia Landing (a park) in South St Paul during the winter; (although this year may be an exception since most lakes aren't frozen over) the trees along the river get a big gathering of eagles. One time I saw 50 to 60 (maybe more) gathered in that row of trees along the Mississippi River.
@@chouseificationThey have the same thing in Avon Lake, OH. The nest is very close to an elementary school. I often take it for granted that we have them closeby and I shouldn't.
I've been in northern Minnesota for 13 years. We often see them, here. Lots of wide open spaces dotted groves of large trees. Makes for great places for nests and hunting. We often see them eating deer that have been hit, especially in winter. And, yeah, that is a very large bird.
My family raised Jersey cows. We used to show them in the state fair. We had one who was the grand champion of the state of Alabama. Her name was Donna.
I live in NW Wisconsin close to the St. Croix River a major tributary of the Mississippi River and Bald Eagles are very common along the river. One year we had a young pair establish a nest in a tree directly across the street from my home overlooking a small lake in the middle of town. They only nested there that one year as I think they had too many people around, but it is very common to see them flying overhead and catching fish and chasing birds around the lake including young Goslings.
Just FYI -- we have Jersey Cows in the US! Lots right here in Ohio where I live -- I live them! I love their beautiful big eyes! My best would show her Jersey's at the State Fair! When they were born they would suck my fingers -- cutest calves of all cows! LOL My friends who live on a farm with lots of woods around and a large pond . . have several eagle nests on their property -- they are amazing to watch!! A couple of times they have landed by the pond for a drink - we swim and sit on the deck on the pond . . so it was really close - and it took my breath away!! They are HUGE and beautiful!!
When I was a child. My family had a small herd of dairy cattle. 2 of them were Jerseys. The Jerseys were my absolute favorite. They gave the richest milk. And they were very gentle. I love Jersey cows. Millie you have every right to be proud of the Jersey cattle. Here in Missouri bald eagles are very common. We have many lakes where the eagles call home.
My daughters raised Jerseys during their 4-H years. They are my favorites too! Wonderful sweet animals with great personalities. And best butter ever! Lived just over the state line in NE Kansas not far from the Missouri River and would see eagles often. It's exhilarating to watch them.
Here in the USA since I was knee high to a grasshopper, I have know of Jersey, Guernsey, Angus and white-faced Hereford cows all from the British Isles. My Dad had Hereford cattle and our milk cow, the beloved Daisy, was a Jersey cow, thank you and your ancestors Mills. The neighbors had Angus beef cows.
I live 57 miles from a nesting site in western Washington state and go every year to see them. But my favorite memory was taking the Christmas train from western Washington to Leavenworth in eastern Washington. We had an early start, the train runs along Puget sound and a bald eagle flew along side the train while hunting for his breakfast. Beautiful sight!! 😁
I live in Huntsville Alabama and there’s a pair of bald eagles that nest next to the pond and river right next to my house every year. They are beautiful creatures.
Even in Florida where it has one of the highest population of Bald Eagles, I've only seen one a couple dozen times in 14 years. It's funny that they have no idea how significant they are to this country. It's an amazing sight to see one, every time.
I live in Janesville Wisconsin, and in my local travels in the vicinity of Jville, I saw our BEAUTIFUL national icon 15 feet off the road i was travelling on!!! I've seen Bald Eagles in Wisconsin many times before, but NOT as close as 15 flipping feet away from me!!! So AWESOME!!!
I’ve seen maybe somewhere between 5 - 10 bald eagles in my life. Unless you are by a large body of water, you aren’t going to see them. They really are huge. They like making nests on top of telephone poles that are next to the road so it’s often pretty easy to see their nests! They’re just not usually in the nests.
Recently a pair was building a nest on a telephone pole here in Dallas, TX. There a newspaper article and pictures. So glad they are thriving and expanding!
I live in Minnesota, and I see Bald Eagles all the time. There's actually a pair that nest across the river from my backyard. They mate for life, so they are back every year.
I've seen bald eagles "in person" on occasion when I am near bodies of water that have fish. Sometimes you can see them soaring in the air, though they get very easily confused with vultures as they are similarly sized. One way to tell the difference is that the vulture wing span will have a more pronounced "V" while eagles will look more flat. They are wonderful and intelligent birds! I regularly keep up with some of the live eagle cams, particularly the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam, the Northeast Florida Eagle cam, the Captiva Island Eagle cam, the Decorah eagle cam (taken over by a Canada goose the past couple or so years), and some others here and there. The Florida/Captiva eagles are currently incubating eggs or have hatched cute little fuzzy eaglets, all shown in full cute display on the cams.
While my buddy and I were fishing at Lake of the Pines in Texas, we saw a whole "flock" of them. We counted 4 bald eagles and three that weren't "bald" yet. This is very rare because bald eagles are considered territorial and usually don't hang around other bald eagles. I'm 55 and have probably seen about 20-30 bald eagles in my lifetime, mostly in Texas, but have seen them in North Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri also. They are beautiful creatures!
Bald Eagles are actually quite social unless it’s nesting season and a pair has a territory. They’ll hang out with other bald eagles in their territory, or many leave their territory outside of nesting season, but once the hormones kick in to prepare for eggs, they’ll get very territorial. Once their eaglets leave the nest (approx 3 months) other eagles are over again allowed in the territory.
I see them quite often here in Delaware there are a few eagles by my home that fly over our yard. They are large beautiful birds seeing them in person they are very majestic.
They are becoming quite a normal sight in Pennsylvania. I have a nesting pair at the river in my hometown, and they can be seen on a daily basis fishing on the river or sitting on eggs in the nest. Other than that, I see at least 6-8 throughout the year when I'm fishing or hiking elsewhere. It's nuts because 20 years ago, you just didn't see this. There is truly something magical about them.
While a few places in the U.S., it may be common to see them, many people rarely see them and some never have seen one. I'm 66 y/o and may have seen one on a dozen occasions. I have to admit, I love seeing them. Because they are our symbol of freedom, there is something moving about seeing one. They appear to be very majestic. If you see one, it's something you usually mention to others with an excitement in your voice. Like, "You'll never guess what I saw today." You'll normally get a response like, "Oh wow!" or "That's cool." or, "You lucky dog." We love getting to see one.
Every November around the Conowengo Dam in Maryland. The second largest gathering of eagles show up. One can walk along the paths and look up and see the eagles sitting in the trees ten feet above your head and flying above the dam. It’s a great chance to an eagle up close. They are usually around until mid Dec.
Toledo, OH, has was believed to be the only pair of "urban" eagles in the country. Their nest is on the Maumee River, just a few miles (as the eagle flies) from downtown.
I saw one flying around near Boone Hall, which is located near the Atlantic coast of South Carolina a couple of years ago. It and its mate were nesting in a very tall tree in a wooded area there.
We have bald eagles in Upstate/Western New York. I've seen several around Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes. Those are big birds and their nests are enormous!
For most of my life, I've lived in Montreal Quebec, Canada, and I've seen at least two Bald Eagle's nests in downtown! They've been there for many years, and are also protected.
Yes, there are bald eagle nests along the river here in north western Illinois. There's a bike path that goes right by them. You can see 3 or 4 of them every time you ride by.
Here in northern Ohio, there are a lot of bald eagles. If you go away from the cities or hiking in the woods or rivers, you'll see them circling in the air looking for prey.
I live in Wisconsin and see Bald Eagles often. They are amazing at fishing but also love eating road kill. They are also very territorial and will screech at you if they feel you're to close to them
The is a breeding pair of Bald Eagles on Catalina Island 26 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. Their nest is on a cliff/overhang above the ocean. It's also a popular scuba diving spot called...... Eagles Nest. Enjoy your day.
When I lived in Florida they were quite a common sight. On a fishing trip in central Florida, near Ocala, I saw at least 20 individual eagles, adults with the white head and tail and juvenile birds in their overall dark color. I live in southeast Georgia now and I see them here several times a year. Their size and beauty is amazing.
When we were stationed in Alaska there were bald eagles everywhere. One of the funniest things Ive ever seen was an eagle walking down the sidewalk in Anchorage carrying a Taco Bell bag in its beak. My husband and I could not believe what we were watching.
I've lived in Florida my whole life and the first time I ever really saw a Bald Eagle (that I was sure was a bald eagle) was when I visited Kennedy Space Center. They have a breeding pair that have a nest in one of the trees next to the road where the tour buses go and they stopped the bus so we could see them. They had little ones that we were lucky enough to see fly for the first time. It was a very memorable trip.
I live in Maine and it's fairly common to see bald eagles. I saw one 2 days ago. Some migrate for the winter and some don't. They can be really big and majestic.
I live in Minnesota in a large metro area, 5 miles from the Mississippi and 10 miles from the St.Croix River (between MN & WI). We see eagles in our neighborhood and city frequently. There is a huge nest in an old oak tree 1.5 miles from our house and it is only a couple blocks from a major freeway(I-94). Over the years the farmland has filled in around the tree with a large church, a business and multiperson dwellings. Yet, the eagles return every year and have a couple eaglets. It's fun to watch them feed their eaglets and swoop down and pick up road kill off our street and land on a neighbor's house with the roadkill in It's talons. It is always exciting. Never saw them in the metro area growing up except along the St. Croix-now they are everywhere.😊
Across from Joe Maurer's (the baseball player) brother's car dealership on "old 110" (62/Crosstown these days) in West St Paul, there is a huge nest visible off in the near distance. Driver has to drive, but passengers get to gawk at the nest. I've seen the parent eagles tearing up food and feeding the babies many times.
Growing up I never saw a bald eagle so when I got to see one it was exciting. Now it's more common to see them. One area where I travel often has several nesting pairs around.
I was once at Dollywood, if you’ve not heard of it it’s an amusement park here in the East Tennessee Smokey Mtns owned by Dolly Parton. There’s an eagle exhibit there where they rehab & release those they are able to. I was about 14 yrs old & was chosen from the audience at the show the exhibit was doing to be the one who put on a huge falconer’s glove & stand on the stage as the man went well outside of the pavilion & released a bald eagle & it landed on me. The sheer size of it was amazing but I could also feel the strength of its talons. Here in southeast Tennessee, there’s been a program to reintroduce breeding populations back here where they used to be much more abundant. I happen to live on a lake near several mountains & there’s a mating pair that nests just a few yards from where I fish. It’s beautiful to see & to watch them swoop down & grab a meal out of the lake.
I've seen a few in Western New York state, my family has a cottage on a small lake and it's so cool to see them fishing! I've also seen them in Wyoming, in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks
Have lived in Indiana my whole life(56 years) and it wasn't until about 10 years ago that I ever saw one. Have seen many in the last few years though. Fantastic animals
I live in Southern California and Bald Eagles are common in our foothills and mountains. My wife and I visited Alaska in both 2017 and again in 2019 and both times saw plenty of Bald Eagles. They are very majestic in person.
I saw two bald eagles this past weekend, in different areas of north central Wisconsin. One was perched in a tree along the Chippewa River, and another was along a country road scavenging a road kill deer. DDT is no longer the main threat to bald eagles. However, they do scavenge and feed on dead animals. Many times when a hunter shoots an animal, sometimes they don’t die immediately, and can get away from the hunter, only to die later. The eagle will find the dead animal and eat it, but also eat the lead bullets and get lead poisoning. The other threat is road collisions with eagles when they are on the side of the road eating road kill.
@@forcedge2302 birds eat small stones intentionally because they don’t have teeth. The stones, meat, etc. goes into the gizzard, and the muscles surrounding it contract and expand, and force the food and the stones to rub against each other, thus grinding up the softer food and making it easier to digest. Alternatively, bullets don’t always remain intact. Sometimes they fragment into smaller pieces that just get eaten by the bird without even noticing it. Seriously, I’m not blowing smoke about eagles suffering from lead poisoning. I’ve been to bird sanctuaries, and they all say that lead poisoning amongst eagles and other birds that scavenge is probably their biggest threat except loss of habitat.
I've seen two bald eagles recently. In both incidence they were feeding close to the edge of the road for some reason. I was driving . I slowed down to a crawl. The shear size of them left me stunned and with much more respect for this awesome bird. I guess it was the overall look especially its commanding face that proclaimed "don't mess with me!". I've saw lots of documentaries and followed youtubers videoing the mated Eagles raise their babies up to where the young ones could fly and feed themselves. The nests are enormous and so are the baby chicks
I live on lake superiors coast. Basswood Island, one of the apostle islands, is literally only a couple miles away. My job has a marina, and I have watched eagle flight fights many times. I've seen so many eagles in the apostle island area.
Seeing a bald eagle or a golden eagle in the wild is an AMAZING feeling. Love the super beautiful bird, also love falcons and hawks just such beautiful birds!!!!
Peregrine falcons have become urban dwellers these days, happily feeding on pigeons. I once watch one tear a pigeon apart on the sidewalk outside while I ate lunch in a restaurant.
I've seen a lot of Bald Eagles. We would take a particular 125 mile stretch of river for a canoe/camping trip in Pennsylvania that would take 5 days. We would see several of them each day, and we took that trip three different times. I see a lot of them here in Maine as well.
Bald eagles are becoming pretty common where I live in Kansas. There will be a lot of them during some times of year when they migrate, but some have also set up permanent residence here.
I live in the South Carolina Lowcountry (the Charleston area) and have seen dozens of eagles in the swamps and forests. In fact, one likes to roost at the top of a cell phone tower about a half a mile from where I live.
Here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of America the Bald Eagle is an everyday awesome icon of our existence🤘 they are damn majestic and it is a privilege to coexistence with such magnificent & powerful creatures🇺🇲💪👍.... and I have never seen a bird/raptor of any kind that compares to that of a Bald Eagle. They are wicked awe inducing badasses
I live in Minnesota and if you going fishing a fair amount during the summer you will more than likely see one. Have seen many of them in my life time I am in my 50's
My mother was born and raised in CDA. Back in the 60's we would spend summers out there as we are in Lawrence's part of the world. When I was 8 we watched the moon landing in my uncle's house on the the big black and white tv
They tend to nest near each other around bodies of water where they can catch fish. You should be able to find places where you can observe them without disturbing them. They have viewing sites all over the country.
If you're near water you can see them if you look. It's hard to tell sometimes when they're flying, if you can't distinguish the white head, and if they're alone and flying it's hard to tell they're so huge so you think they might be a big hawk.
I live in Wisconsin and have seen many Bald Eagles. We even had a nest by our coal power plant and someone put a camera by the nest. You could watch the babies hatch and grow up.
I saw my first bald eagles in Alaska when I was 11 in the late 60s. Where I am in Colorado, there is an eagle nesting area near by due to several reservoirs and ponds in the area. They are beautiful, majestic birds.
The U.S. has about 315,000 bald eagles, the largest single population being 70,000 in Alaska. Canada has about 500,000 bald eagles, with the largest single population being 20,000 in BC. With Canada having the most lakes in the world ,it provides an ample choice of locations across the country.
I live in New jersey and obviously if your in the more densely populated portions of the state you wont see them but if you head move west towards Pennsylvania and the Delaware river you see them all the time.
Avon lake ohio has a 24 hour camera on a couple at an elementary school. The children get to pick the names of the babies. Really sweet. I see them here and there where i moved to. Love watching them
Millie, though the bald eagle isn't on any state seal, to my knowledge, there are thousands of them in Alaska--the most of any state. Coeur d’Alene = curr duh-LANE (Anglicized French for “heart of an awl”; city in Idaho + tribe) Did you notice at about 7:20 that there was a bald eagle with a brown head? That's what the juveniles look like. At a dam here in my Illinois city, it's easy to spot bald eagles. Also, yes, I've seen bald eagles there, as well as up in AK, when I visited in '84 in a loooong road trip of 31 days and 9244 miles/14,874 km.--solo. While I was up there, I saw a funny T-shirt with a bald eagle on it, and the caption "I am smiling!"😄
They're not that rare to see anymore. I've seen them in Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, & Oregon. Rafting or kayaking down any major river in the US is a good way to see Bald Eagles. Their nest are easily recognizable due to the size.
What's crazy is that when I was a kid, late 70s thru 80s, bald eagles were very endangered.. but now, 40 years later, they're all over. There's a bunch that live by the lake near our shopping mall in my city. (Syracuse NY).. You'll walk out with your shopping and see bald eagle just flying around and it's no big deal.
If you go to any state with big lakes, or water close. You can see eagles. Big nests in trees and sometimes on telephone Poles. The US also has in some states. Cameras that show Eagle babies with their mama and papa's. Growing up.. I think UA-cam has some of the live cameras. You would have to Google this.
We have bald eagles here in Pa also we have a pair that live by the river down the road from my house, everytime i see them it's breathtaking they are amazing animals. I hope yall get the opportunity to see one when yall come out . 😃
I found your video on The Star Spangled Banner and left a comment on how beautiful you guys really are, inside and out. Ok, my Bald Eagle story. I've been blessed to see dozens of Bald Eagles in my day, but only because I've been in the forest a lot....... {OK on with it!} My girlfriend (now wife) and I were driving around the states and found ourselves in Custer National park surrounded by a herd of Buffalo (Thank God we were in a car) as we waited for the Buffalo traffic jam to pass we noticed a Bald Eagle fly into the trees up ahead. I said look a Bald Eagle. She said really that was not. We drove closer to where I spotted the bird and to our amazement it swooped down out of the towering trees right passed us. Then it circled back and dove down into the lake in front of us and came up with a fish. We were so gitty I almost drove into the lake. We now live in Arizona and have the pleasure to have Woodpeckers in our Suguaro cactus out front and a Red Tailed Hawk in the back and on the rare occasion we come across a Golden Eagle and on an even rarer occasion a beautiful Bald Eagle. Keep up the great videos ... Cheers
Eagles are all over the USA now, but I have not seen one on the East coast I've seen them on trips to the West coast, where the locals have about the same reaction to them as they do to sea gulls. I know they are on the East coast because I've seen videos of them.
We have eagles all around us even on some light post at the mall. You can look up some eagle cams here in Florida. I live in an urban area and we get warnings all the time to be careful with house pets because of eagles, bears, coyotes, boars, etc.
Laurence has mentioned the trip to Coeur d'Alene (core duh lane) and seeing the tree filled with bald eagles. Strange, that for this video he changed up the story so drastically. 🦅
I live in Wisconsin about 10 miles from Lake Michigan. I see Bald Eagles regularly. There are two nesting pairs close by. Last week, I saw 3 flying over my house. Beautiful birds.
The bald eagles are absolutely beautiful so graceful God Bless America

Not how the local people pronounce it. daleowen2606 is correct -core duh lane. Also can be core da lane.@@ceegesange9904
We came close to having a Turkey as National Bird
Yup we almost had Bald Eagle and Stuffing for Thanksgiving.
Benjamin Franklin, was a pretty creative founder, he said that the bald eagle, ‘he is a bird of bad moral character’, and, that ‘the turkey is a much more respectable bird.’ We decided to eat it instead. 😂
And now we've got one in the White house.

Very few things are as exhilarating as see a Bald Eagle in flight in the wild to an American!❤🦅🇺🇸
The bald eagle is a great bird in the summer I have a pair that sit on my porch since I have a creak that runs the back of my house
My family raised Jersey cows. We used to show them in the state fair. We had one who was the grand champion of the state of Alabama. Her name was Donna.
In Washington (state) there are many bald eagles and you often see them on tall tree tops in wooded areas. They are quite majestic.

Bald Eagles are actually quite social unless it’s nesting season and a pair has a territory. They’ll hang out with other bald eagles in their territory, or many leave their territory outside of nesting season, but once the hormones kick in to prepare for eggs, they’ll get very territorial. Once their eaglets leave the nest (approx 3 months) other eagles are over again allowed in the territory.
Here in Iowa, along river banks with tall trees you can sometimes find a group of them spread out through the branches watching the water.
They are a truly majestic bird!!! And I get to see them quite often in Montana!!! 💜💕 🦅
I see them quite often here in Delaware there are a few eagles by my home that fly over our yard. They are large beautiful birds seeing them in person they are very majestic.
They are becoming quite a normal sight in Pennsylvania. I have a nesting pair at the river in my hometown, and they can be seen on a daily basis fishing on the river or sitting on eggs in the nest. Other than that, I see at least 6-8 throughout the year when I'm fishing or hiking elsewhere. It's nuts because 20 years ago, you just didn't see this. There is truly something magical about them.
I’ve seen a couple here in North Carolina. I live on the coast and you can occasionally see them sitting in the tops of the trees.
There are several pairs where I live in NW Ohio. See them a couple times a week. I’m amazed by their size and beauty every time.
While a few places in the U.S., it may be common to see them, many people rarely see them and some never have seen one. I'm 66 y/o and may have seen one on a dozen occasions. I have to admit, I love seeing them. Because they are our symbol of freedom, there is something moving about seeing one. They appear to be very majestic. If you see one, it's something you usually mention to others with an excitement in your voice. Like, "You'll never guess what I saw today." You'll normally get a response like, "Oh wow!" or "That's cool." or, "You lucky dog." We love getting to see one.
We have a nesting pair of bald eagles near Pittsburgh, PA, USA. We have a live stream on the nest as they rear their hatchlings.
Every November around the Conowengo Dam in Maryland. The second largest gathering of eagles show up. One can walk along the paths and look up and see the eagles sitting in the trees ten feet above your head and flying above the dam. It’s a great chance to an eagle up close. They are usually around until mid Dec.
Toledo, OH, has was believed to be the only pair of "urban" eagles in the country. Their nest is on the Maumee River, just a few miles (as the eagle flies) from downtown.
I live in the Freeport, IL / Monroe, Wi area. I see them pretty regularly when driving on roads near the Pecatonica river.
I live in Minnesota, more specifically in the Minnesota River basin near the Mississippi River. Lots of bald eagles.
I saw one flying around near Boone Hall, which is located near the Atlantic coast of South Carolina a couple of years ago. It and its mate were nesting in a very tall tree in a wooded area there.
We have bald eagles in Upstate/Western New York. I've seen several around Lake Ontario and the Finger Lakes. Those are big birds and their nests are enormous!
For most of my life, I've lived in Montreal Quebec, Canada, and I've seen at least two Bald Eagle's nests in downtown! They've been there for many years, and are also protected.
Yes, there are bald eagle nests along the river here in north western Illinois. There's a bike path that goes right by them. You can see 3 or 4 of them every time you ride by.
Here in northern Ohio, there are a lot of bald eagles. If you go away from the cities or hiking in the woods or rivers, you'll see them circling in the air looking for prey.
There's a pair of eagles that nest near a local school in NE Ohio.
I live in Madison, seen them here too. ❤
I live in Wisconsin and see Bald Eagles often. They are amazing at fishing but also love eating road kill. They are also very territorial and will screech at you if they feel you're to close to them
I have seen several Bald Eagles. Many nest along the Snake River as in runs through Wyoming.
The is a breeding pair of Bald Eagles on Catalina Island 26 miles off the coast of Los Angeles. Their nest is on a cliff/overhang above the ocean. It's also a popular scuba diving spot called...... Eagles Nest. Enjoy your day.
When I lived in Florida they were quite a common sight. On a fishing trip in central Florida, near Ocala, I saw at least 20 individual eagles, adults with the white head and tail and juvenile birds in their overall dark color. I live in southeast Georgia now and I see them here several times a year. Their size and beauty is amazing.
When we were stationed in Alaska there were bald eagles everywhere. One of the funniest things Ive ever seen was an eagle walking down the sidewalk in Anchorage carrying a Taco Bell bag in its beak. My husband and I could not believe what we were watching.
Now that's peak America.
@@elbruces he looked like he had been thru the drive thru and was headed home. It was hilarious
I've lived in Florida my whole life and the first time I ever really saw a Bald Eagle (that I was sure was a bald eagle) was when I visited Kennedy Space Center. They have a breeding pair that have a nest in one of the trees next to the road where the tour buses go and they stopped the bus so we could see them. They had little ones that we were lucky enough to see fly for the first time. It was a very memorable trip.
I saw a nesting pair of bald eagles in a 100 foot pine tree near the coast of North Carolina in 1992. It was a sight to see!
I live in Maine and it's fairly common to see bald eagles. I saw one 2 days ago. Some migrate for the winter and some don't. They can be really big and majestic.
I live in Minnesota in a large metro area, 5 miles from the Mississippi and 10 miles from the St.Croix River (between MN & WI). We see eagles in our neighborhood and city frequently. There is a huge nest in an old oak tree 1.5 miles from our house and it is only a couple blocks from a major freeway(I-94). Over the years the farmland has filled in around the tree with a large church, a business and multiperson dwellings. Yet, the eagles return every year and have a couple eaglets. It's fun to watch them feed their eaglets and swoop down and pick up road kill off our street and land on a neighbor's house with the roadkill in It's talons. It is always exciting. Never saw them in the metro area growing up except along the St. Croix-now they are everywhere.😊
Across from Joe Maurer's (the baseball player) brother's car dealership on "old 110" (62/Crosstown these days) in West St Paul, there is a huge nest visible off in the near distance. Driver has to drive, but passengers get to gawk at the nest. I've seen the parent eagles tearing up food and feeding the babies many times.
I was 40 years old before I ever saw a wild bald eagle. 61 now and I saw 3 last week. 1 in Utah and 2 in Wyoming. Magnificent animals
Growing up I never saw a bald eagle so when I got to see one it was exciting. Now it's more common to see them. One area where I travel often has several nesting pairs around.
I was once at Dollywood, if you’ve not heard of it it’s an amusement park here in the East Tennessee Smokey Mtns owned by Dolly Parton. There’s an eagle exhibit there where they rehab & release those they are able to. I was about 14 yrs old & was chosen from the audience at the show the exhibit was doing to be the one who put on a huge falconer’s glove & stand on the stage as the man went well outside of the pavilion & released a bald eagle & it landed on me. The sheer size of it was amazing but I could also feel the strength of its talons.
Here in southeast Tennessee, there’s been a program to reintroduce breeding populations back here where they used to be much more abundant. I happen to live on a lake near several mountains & there’s a mating pair that nests just a few yards from where I fish. It’s beautiful to see & to watch them swoop down & grab a meal out of the lake.
I've seen a few in Western New York state, my family has a cottage on a small lake and it's so cool to see them fishing! I've also seen them in Wyoming, in Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks
Have lived in Indiana my whole life(56 years) and it wasn't until about 10 years ago that I ever saw one. Have seen many in the last few years though. Fantastic animals
I live in Southern California and Bald Eagles are common in our foothills and mountains. My wife and I visited Alaska in both 2017 and again in 2019 and both times saw plenty of Bald Eagles. They are very majestic in person.
I saw two bald eagles this past weekend, in different areas of north central Wisconsin. One was perched in a tree along the Chippewa River, and another was along a country road scavenging a road kill deer.
DDT is no longer the main threat to bald eagles. However, they do scavenge and feed on dead animals. Many times when a hunter shoots an animal, sometimes they don’t die immediately, and can get away from the hunter, only to die later. The eagle will find the dead animal and eat it, but also eat the lead bullets and get lead poisoning. The other threat is road collisions with eagles when they are on the side of the road eating road kill.
Why would they eat the bullet? It's too hard and tasteless
@@forcedge2302 birds eat small stones intentionally because they don’t have teeth. The stones, meat, etc. goes into the gizzard, and the muscles surrounding it contract and expand, and force the food and the stones to rub against each other, thus grinding up the softer food and making it easier to digest.
Alternatively, bullets don’t always remain intact. Sometimes they fragment into smaller pieces that just get eaten by the bird without even noticing it.
Seriously, I’m not blowing smoke about eagles suffering from lead poisoning. I’ve been to bird sanctuaries, and they all say that lead poisoning amongst eagles and other birds that scavenge is probably their biggest threat except loss of habitat.
I've seen two bald eagles recently. In both incidence they were feeding close to the edge of the road for some reason. I was driving . I slowed down to a crawl. The shear size of them left me stunned and with much more respect for this awesome bird. I guess it was the overall look especially its commanding face that proclaimed "don't mess with me!". I've saw lots of documentaries and followed youtubers videoing the mated Eagles raise their babies up to where the young ones could fly and feed themselves. The nests are enormous and so are the baby chicks
I live on lake superiors coast. Basswood Island, one of the apostle islands, is literally only a couple miles away. My job has a marina, and I have watched eagle flight fights many times. I've seen so many eagles in the apostle island area.
Seeing a bald eagle or a golden eagle in the wild is an AMAZING feeling. Love the super beautiful bird, also love falcons and hawks just such beautiful birds!!!!
Peregrine falcons have become urban dwellers these days, happily feeding on pigeons. I once watch one tear a pigeon apart on the sidewalk outside while I ate lunch in a restaurant.
@@BTinSF they also can reach speeds near 190 mph when diving!
I've seen a lot of Bald Eagles. We would take a particular 125 mile stretch of river for a canoe/camping trip in Pennsylvania that would take 5 days. We would see several of them each day, and we took that trip three different times. I see a lot of them here in Maine as well.
Bald eagles are becoming pretty common where I live in Kansas. There will be a lot of them during some times of year when they migrate, but some have also set up permanent residence here.
True, there's quite a big group living at Milford Lake.
I live in the South Carolina Lowcountry (the Charleston area) and have seen dozens of eagles in the swamps and forests. In fact, one likes to roost at the top of a cell phone tower about a half a mile from where I live.
We rarely saw them where I live. However, in the last 10 years they are back and we see them often
"Coor duh lane" is how you say that Idaho town.
Here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest of America the Bald Eagle is an everyday awesome icon of our existence🤘 they are damn majestic and it is a privilege to coexistence with such magnificent & powerful creatures🇺🇲💪👍.... and I have never seen a bird/raptor of any kind that compares to that of a Bald Eagle. They are wicked awe inducing badasses
I live in Minnesota and if you going fishing a fair amount during the summer you will more than likely see one. Have seen many of them in my life time I am in my 50's
The Bald Eagle is the usa's National bird then each state has a state bird
My mother was born and raised in CDA. Back in the 60's we would spend summers out there as we are in Lawrence's part of the world. When I was 8 we watched the moon landing in my uncle's house on the the big black and white tv
I just saw a Bald Eagle on my drive home. It was sitting on a rock in a lake. They are huge.
They tend to nest near each other around bodies of water where they can catch fish. You should be able to find places where you can observe them without disturbing them. They have viewing sites all over the country.
I live in FL and while I dont see Bald Eagles everyday, over the course of years I have seen more than I can count.
I live in Iowa like the Fat Electrician, and there's one that sometimes hangs out in the trees in our backyard.
If you're near water you can see them if you look. It's hard to tell sometimes when they're flying, if you can't distinguish the white head, and if they're alone and flying it's hard to tell they're so huge so you think they might be a big hawk.
Yep the Hawks and the Falcons are like the same color in the air.
I grew up in the foothills of Northern California but I never saw a wild bald eagle until I moved to the deserts of St George, Utah.
I’ve seen many bald eagles.🦅 There are a lot of places in Minnesota where they gather.
I live in Wisconsin and have seen many Bald Eagles. We even had a nest by our coal power plant and someone put a camera by the nest. You could watch the babies hatch and grow up.
I saw my first bald eagles in Alaska when I was 11 in the late 60s. Where I am in Colorado, there is an eagle nesting area near by due to several reservoirs and ponds in the area. They are beautiful, majestic birds.
The U.S. has about 315,000 bald eagles, the largest single population being 70,000 in Alaska. Canada has about 500,000 bald eagles, with the largest single population being 20,000 in BC. With Canada having the most lakes in the world ,it provides an ample choice of locations across the country.
I live in New jersey and obviously if your in the more densely populated portions of the state you wont see them but if you head move west towards Pennsylvania and the Delaware river you see them all the time.
Avon lake ohio has a 24 hour camera on a couple at an elementary school. The children get to pick the names of the babies. Really sweet.
I see them here and there where i moved to. Love watching them
Avon lake eagle cam
Millie, though the bald eagle isn't on any state seal, to my knowledge, there are thousands of them in Alaska--the most of any state.
Coeur d’Alene = curr duh-LANE (Anglicized French for “heart of an awl”; city in Idaho + tribe)
Did you notice at about 7:20 that there was a bald eagle with a brown head? That's what the juveniles look like.
At a dam here in my Illinois city, it's easy to spot bald eagles. Also, yes, I've seen bald eagles there, as well as up in AK, when I visited in '84 in a loooong road trip of 31 days and 9244 miles/14,874
km.--solo. While I was up there, I saw a funny T-shirt with a bald eagle on it, and the caption "I am smiling!"😄
A bunch bald eagles spend the winter in NW Tennessee. Reelfoot Lake has a great story behind how it was created. Cord a lain
I see them on a regular basis along the river in Pennsylvania!
I’ve seen them often in Idaho and Washington. And Montana.
They're not that rare to see anymore. I've seen them in Texas, Colorado, Wyoming, & Oregon. Rafting or kayaking down any major river in the US is a good way to see Bald Eagles. Their nest are easily recognizable due to the size.
What's crazy is that when I was a kid, late 70s thru 80s, bald eagles were very endangered.. but now, 40 years later, they're all over. There's a bunch that live by the lake near our shopping mall in my city. (Syracuse NY).. You'll walk out with your shopping and see bald eagle just flying around and it's no big deal.
If you go to any state with big lakes, or water close.
You can see eagles.
Big nests in trees and sometimes on telephone Poles. The US also has in some states.
Cameras that show Eagle babies with their mama and papa's.
Growing up.. I think UA-cam has some of the live cameras.
You would have to Google this.
We have bald eagles here in Pa also we have a pair that live by the river down the road from my house, everytime i see them it's breathtaking they are amazing animals. I hope yall get the opportunity to see one when yall come out . 😃
I found your video on The Star Spangled Banner and left a comment on how beautiful you guys really are, inside and out.
Ok, my Bald Eagle story.
I've been blessed to see dozens of Bald Eagles in my day, but only because I've been in the forest a lot....... {OK on with it!}
My girlfriend (now wife) and I were driving around the states and found ourselves in Custer National park surrounded by a herd of Buffalo (Thank God we were in a car) as we waited for the Buffalo traffic jam to pass we noticed a Bald Eagle fly into the trees up ahead. I said look a Bald Eagle. She said really that was not.
We drove closer to where I spotted the bird and to our amazement it swooped down out of the towering trees right passed us. Then it circled back and dove down into the lake in front of us and came up with a fish. We were so gitty I almost drove into the lake.
We now live in Arizona and have the pleasure to have Woodpeckers in our Suguaro cactus out front and a Red Tailed Hawk in the back and on the rare occasion we come across a Golden Eagle and on an even rarer occasion a beautiful Bald Eagle.
Keep up the great videos ... Cheers
Eagles are all over the USA now, but I have not seen one on the East coast I've seen them on trips to the West coast, where the locals have about the same reaction to them as they do to sea gulls. I know they are on the East coast because I've seen videos of them.
We have eagles all around us even on some light post at the mall. You can look up some eagle cams here in Florida. I live in an urban area and we get warnings all the time to be careful with house pets because of eagles, bears, coyotes, boars, etc.
I have seen a few. One here in Alabama. Two while hiking in New Mexico. And a couple in Idaho (oddly on the lake Lawerence saw his on).
I just saw one a few days ago in my local park in Texas. I immediately dropped everything and ran after it with binoculars.
Laurence has mentioned the trip to Coeur d'Alene (core duh lane) and seeing the tree filled with bald eagles. Strange, that for this video he changed up the story so drastically.
