A Busy Eagle

37 Comments

This eagle was doing some serious hunting.

After swooping over the forest, he or she came back to a tree to survey the lunch field.

I think my presence may have been a bit of a distraction, so I decided to move on in order that the hunting could continue without human interference.

Happy Sunday.

  4. It is hard to know sometimes if the eagle’s look is just fierce or annoyed that some mere human is distracting it from it daily business. Such a majestic bird. Happy Sunday Lynette. Allan

    1. Thanks, Allan. I agree! Very hard to know although my sense this time was that she or he wanted me out of there. I wondered if there was a nest nearby as theirs aren’t too difficult to spot usually, but I didn’t see anything. Yes, they are so, so impressive!

    1. You’re right about that, Anneli! I definitely felt like I was being willed to get moving away from there. I’m thinking that there must have been a nest nearby but I didn’t see one and they’re usually very noticeable. On the other hand, I was also trying to get going and may have missed it.

      1. The eagles who nested in our neighbourhood are driving everyone crazy. The young are shrieking a lot. It seems like it goes on all day but I’m sure they take a break. For me, their calling for food and shrieking kind of takes the magic out of having eagles around.

        1. Wow. We have one bonded pair in our neighbourhood. Usually eagles are so territorial that other couples find a nesting area further away but it sounds like you’re hearing a number of nests. At least it won’t take too long before they’re out of the nests and the shrieking should stop.

          1. Oh, yes. We try to tune it out. They have to nest somewhere, and in a way, it’s nice to know they are having success. We just have to put up with the shrieking. I’d rather listen to that than to the rude people walking by (for a quiet walk) yelling into their phones and disturbing the whole neighbourhood.

          2. Yes, I can remember when they were in serious trouble and I’m grateful that their numbers came back. Agreed, people yipping into their cell phones is so annoying (and rude). I’m really not interested in hearing what your sister’s boyfriend did. Ugh.
