If you google "eagle cam" you will get options of different places around the country that track eagles. The cam nearest to me is "The Decorah Cam". They have a cam in a nest. They won't be back until sometime in March or April, but we get to see their eggs hatch twice per year.

[@amirrizer5069]

Thanks fellow American 🇺🇸. That’s cool…

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

We like watching them here in Iowa too. :)

[@gausly1032]

that’s cool lol it’s like the livestream of the worlds oldest light bulb haha

[@OkiePeg411]

When I was a kid (in the 60s, 70s, 80s), you would never have seen a bald eagle. The very first time I saw one in the wild was probably early 90s in rural Oklahoma near a river dam. Now, you will definitely see them often. But sighting one is always exciting and awe-inspiring!!! They are huge and so beautiful. When I was in Alaska about 5-6 years ago, there were Bald eagles everywhere.

[@richdiddens4059]

They were never in real danger of extinction. They were, however, killed and poisoned by farmers and ranchers in much of the lower 48. Local populations were almost wiped out in places like Florida, much of the eastern US and the plains states. Decent populations remained in much of the Rocky Mountain states and the mountains of the Pacific coast. There was always thriving populations in Western Canada and Alaska. In parts of Alaska they were as thick as pigeons in Central Park.

[@justaride1366]

They are all over the Kenai Peninsula here in Alaska. We see them constantly. There is a large nest high up in an old cottonwood down the road from my property. I absolutely LOVE them. I love seeing the parents flying with their juveniles, they are very attentive.

[@imperialknight3942]

From Texas still have never seen one my whole life.

[@melanierose604]

Bald eagles are making a comeback. In Kentucky, the lakes region began their increase. Now their territory is spreading wider farther from large bodies of water into agricultural areas.

[@plaid11]

Growing up, I knew the bald eagle was on the endangered list but I don’t think I actually realized how close it was. Even at that time, it was still pretty low, looks like about 10-15k…which is still very low and I understand why it was such a big deal. This whole time it’s been ingrained in my head that we need to take extreme care of bald eagles. That’s probably why I’m still at awe every time I see one. We should still treat them like they are endangered because they are a national treasure. Thank you for doing this video!

[@frand9174]

There are a lot of bald eagles in Florida. We live in a retirement community with acres of woodlands, ponds and swamps. It's home to a number of bald eagles. They are a sight to behold..really large, imposing and downright beautiful. The community is on a very busy roadway. One handsome fellow can often be spotted sitting high atop an enormous highway light pole. He seems to enjoy the view, watching the traffic speed past.

[@SlothOfTheSea]

I’m lucky enough to live in the Bald Eagle’s year-round range. They’re magnificent birds, a bit terrifying too, don’t walk your small dog near them..!

[@manxkin]

I live about 40 miles north of Chicago near Lake Michigan. We get the occasional bald eagle here. In the winter you’ll see more eagles along the Fox River or travel over to the Mississippi River if you want to see a lot of eagles. Really magnificent in person.

[@DrVonChilla]

I live in Pennsylvania and have only seen Bald Eagles on a handful of occasions.....but EACH & EVERY TIME I was in AWE being in their presence. God Bless America....!!

[@Longplay44]

I live in upstate New York and see Bald Eagles all the time.

[@cindymackling9369]

I live on Vancouver Island and I see Bald Eagles flying all the time. They are a majestic bird.

[@gingersnap22]

I live in western Pennsylvania close to a state park. The first eagle i saw was about 10 years ago. Now i see an eagle at least twice a month. They're beautiful.

[@erinh4184]

Hello from Minnesota! I live within the Twin Cities (Minneapolis & St. Paul suburbs). I usually see a bald eagle 1-2 times a year. No matter how often you see them, its still a sight to behold. They gravitate to bodies of water and tallest trees in an area. In Wabasha, Minnesota there is the National Eagle Center where you can see them up close (couple feet away) and learn about them. They have a few that were hurt and since they cannot be release back into the wild the eagles have become ambassadors. Wabasha gets a large number of nesting eagles in their area. You can see a lot of bald eagles flying around near the Eagle Ctr. I believe they have nest cams as well. Bald Eagles to don't get their signature white feathers (actually more cream in color) until they have matured into adulthood. They are all brown when young and slowly their feathers change. Their talons are nearly 2 inches in length and if they so chose to, could easily snap the bone in half of an 6ft adult male man. Those feet have have remarkable strength within their grip. I have seen them take rabbits for dinner. Any animal of similar size would be fair game, but their preference is fish. They are large beautiful eagles. When you visit the states one day see if there is an eagle center in the area -- they are truly something to see up close and in person!

[@americanminotaur2518]

Where I live in Maine, seeing a Bald Eagle is rare enough to generate some excitement if you spot one, but not so much that seeing one is considered out of the ordinary. I live near a lake, and a Bald Eagle has a nest in one of the trees lining the water. One time I saw the eagle swoop down and snatch a fish out of the water. It was really cool.🦅

[@DavidZinselmeier]

yes...i have seen many...year around.. the most beautiful bird ever.

[@drcorrigan]

I am very fortunate to live in Northern Idaho where we can often see bald eagles. We have a bald eagle nest very close to our home. It doesn’t matter how often you see one, it’s always a thrill. They are beautiful. There are many eagle live cams that are fun to watch. But fair warning, if you do start to watch, you will fall in love.

[@candaceh1943]

I grew up in South Florida during the 60's and 70's. We used to always see bald eagle nests in the Everglades and in the Florida Keys. They were pretty common. There is an island in Florida Bay called Nest Key (named for the bald eagle nests in the cypress trees on the island) that had a natural white crescent beach and crystal clear shallow water. We would go water skiing and swimming there and would picnic on the beach. We rarely saw more than 1 or 2 other boats there, so we pretty much had the place to ourselves. There were no porta potties, charcoal grills or garbage cans on the beach. And yet, it was always pristine - no one ever left any garbage on the beach, and if you had to pee, you just peed in the ocean, lol. Eventually the island became a part of Everglades National Park, and we had to quit water skiing when the park rangers came by and told us we were bothering the eagles with the boat noise. But we were still allowed to picnic and swim there. I went back in 2016, and sadly, the beach was gone, completely eroded away. The eagles, however, are still there.

[@johnmcfadden8186]

I live about 15 minutes east of St. Paul, Minnesota which is the capital. Just last week I looked out the front window and saw a Bald Eagle flying. I was up in northern Minnesota dear hunting one year and saw one land in a tree. I could hear the branch creek from its weight.

[@BetsyDudash]

A bald eagle on Ruby Beach, on the Olympic Peninsula, nearly landed on me as it was hunting for crabs. I looked up, screamed, and hid behind my brother. Those talons + huge wings were terrifying!

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

We have tons of them in Iowa now thanks to some breeding and protection laws, and actually even departments that track the pairs (as they mate for life), and you can even watch some nest cams live. We always point em out and stop and watch when we're driving, they represent so much more than just a bird here, absolutely beautiful. ❤

[@kympeplau1635]

I haven’t seen them in flight too much but I do see them in trees near their nests. Their nests are huge as these are big birds to begin with. They are so beautiful! I am in awe of them. I also grew up up in the 1960’s and 70’s and didn’t see them till I was an adult. Now I am fortunate to see them occasionally.

[@TheRoman1964]

I live in Minnesota and I see them around the Mississippi River all the time.

[@darkomtobia]

"...and the single, "Take It Easy"."....lolol I've been about 10' from a bald eagle in Missouri. We were driving and thought a turkey buzzard was on the highway...nope, bald eagle. It's brilliant white markings wete just stunning.

[@midgetydeath]

The F-15 and the Bald Eagle have the same range, apparently. Damn, that’s a beautiful harmony.

[@sandirobinson6966]

Yup. When I was a kid in the 60's, they were fairly rare. We still had them here in Minnesota (land of 10,000 lakes) but after the DDT ban, they came back like crazy. I see them all the time flying over my hayfields, when out on the lakes fishing, or on the side of the road after a deer has been hit. They are great fishers, but also are confirmed scavengers like vultures.

[@kate2create738]

It really depends on the area you are at, my hometown is surrounded by wildlife, with a major river, at least 2 lakes close by and mountains surrounding the valley we are at. For the most part we’ve had the luck of one of our local tourist hotspots be a prime spot for eagles to return to nest and had plenty of experiences of hatchlings in that nest. The name Liberty seems to be a common name to call the mothers, Independence too. My one personal experience of experiencing the eagle in the wild as I live on private property, while I want tending to my yard, an eagle flew over and it looks like it caught a fish in a nearby creek. It just confirmed how epic and majestic those birds are. Truly magnificent. One of my favorite bald eagle videos is the ones that gave visited this one lady in Alaska, just always greeting her on her porch rail like they are part of the family. I can’t remember why but I think she helped one of them at some point but those eagles seem to like to visit her.

[@jeremiahjohnson7619]

In Wisconsin I see Bald Eagles a lot. Probably a few hundred per year. When I was a kid on the other hand it was just a few a year.

[@Dman911011]

I live close to Lake Monroe in Indiana , you can see wild Bald Eagles as you are camping, fishing , or swimming . Love that he showed downtown Indianapolis , I live on the South Side of Indy.😊

[@cindytappe6486]

There is a place along a river that Eagles hunt red fish as they spawn every year. Love watching them come out of the shadows of the trees into the sun shine. Young eagles are brown & you can't see them until the come into the sun. Mature eagles can be seen easily. Osprey are fun to watch too.

[@michaelmorris423]

We live in southern Pennsylvania. In the last 3 or 4 years, we have started to see bald eagles here. Every year, a few more nests are found. So they are really starting to do well here. And we live un the country....way out in the country....which means open sky to see them fly over. Which is very cool.

[@martyb5807]

I have one that flies over my back yard every day. A couple months ago there were 5 feeding on something in the cotton field on the other sude of my creek. Flying between the Chicahominy and Rappahanock rivers.

[@melissahillyer1119]

I live in Minneapolis, and while we have bald eagles year round here, this time of year is amazing. Because the Mississippi River doesn’t freeze over, the eagles converge in a small area for easy fishing. Red Wing MN to Wabasha MN is routinely swamped with hundreds of bald eagles. It’s so much fun to grab the camera and drive down to catch photos filled with perched and flying bald eagles.

[@snailysnail0]

Yeah, it's rare to see one in the city but so cool when you do. I live in Nordeast. Also was inspired by a family of them at the lake by Hazelden when I was there for treatment some years ago.

[@melissahillyer1119]

@@snailysnail0 there’s a nesting pair right in downtown Mpls, near the us bank stadium/stone arch bridge. They’re down here all the time. I see them soaring when I’m on break at work. ❤️

[@snailysnail0]

That's pretty cool. They probably stick close to the river, which is why I don't see them often around Broadway and Central.@@melissahillyer1119

[@cncr2962]

As a child, they were endangered, I lived near a river and was always amazed to see them circling above high on a very clear day… but now they are quite common. I had a nest in our yard, along the same river (about 30 miles north of where I grew up) They never cease to awe me. They are VERY large, and it’s intimidating when they soar over you and you are shadowed like a jetliner just went over lol Their cry isn’t always what Lawrence shows lol, I’ve videoed shrilling calls. They mate for life and return to the same nest each year, we’ve had between 1-4 eaglets each year. They aren’t great housekeepers and just keep building on to their nest each year, it’s amazing watching them swoop to a tree and rip off a branch, and fly off without missing a beat. A couple of years ago, the branch in the tree couldn’t support the weight of the 12 year old nest and 1/2 of it fell, the young eaglet fell out. 😢 We contacted Encon, who said if we could get a drone up there to see if there was another eaglet, they could rebuild it and save the baby. We had our local Fire Department ready with their ladder truck, but it was empty ☹️ They abandoned this nest for the rest of the year, but came back to rebuild, like the Officer told us they would and are thriving still. They are still protected, and messing with a nest is illegal. It’s also Federally illegal to pick up a keep any feathers 🪶.

[@RoseNZieg]

I believe if you are a native american you can pick them up. many tribes have treaties with the us government over the use of eagle feathers.

[@Ginoulmer]

I see Bald Eagles all the time in Montana. I just seen 9 of them in one group last year

[@BetsyDudash]

When the bald eagles nest here, the area around the nest is closed to minimize disturbance.

[@hannahyoung3533]

Here in southeast Iowa, there are a lot of bald eagles. We often see several at a time standing in cornfields.

[@twobitsandpepper8235]

Iowan here too and yep, we have quite a few now. They're beautiful when flying over the Loess Hills.

[@sherriemartin7809]

We have a pair of bald eagles raise up a clutch of young for years on our pond. It's a 500 acre pond on the Coastal Plain region of Georgia. They have been here for over a decade. When the eagles leave, a pair of ospreys take over the nest to raise their young. Our pond is rich with wildlife. Otters, alligators, ducks, geese, raptors, we've got it all on our little plot of heaven.

[@andyboog2010]

They are a lot more common now them even 20 years ago. It's awsome seeing them soaring high.

[@buckeyegirl16]

Have seen them on my dad's lake in Minnesota. They have a nest in one of the trees on the lake.

[@rebeccameinzer8551]

I see them where I live quite often. They are gorgeous! Eagles are huge birds.

[@004Black]

Bald Eagles in Juneau Alaska a so numerous, I routinely see between 6-10 each drive into downtown. At the community dump, dozens of the regal birds rummage through the mountainous piles of refuge daily.

[@thorkagemob1297]

Lots of Bald Eagles here in Minnesota. They love catching fish from the lakes.

[@LazerWolfProductions]

loved this vid L3WG. my profession is an animal rehabilitator. at my place of work we have had 2 bald eagles come through the program in the last 13 maybe 14 years. [i used to have to feed them and holy shit, they def can they tell when i have food in my hand. even when im 1 1/2 to 2 miles away from the eagle aviary, they smell it an get a bit excited i guess is the best word]

[@midgetydeath]

In Florida, I only saw one once. Or rather, two at once. Heard them, too. Man that cry makes me feel patriotic! I didn’t know those other bird sounds were also from them. Thought that some smaller birds were angry at them.

[@Dusk1962]

In North Alabama we see Bald Eagles all the time.

[@timfeeley714-25]

The best place to view bald eagles in the United States is at the Skagit (Skajit) River bald eagle natural preserve in Skagit county in Washington State, eagles from all over Alaska and Canada migrate there in the winter to feed on the salmon runs, it is 9000 acres of protected bald eagle habitat, along with an interpretive center in one of the most beautiful places in America which is North Cascades National Park, you can see hundreds,the place is filthy with them at times, and yes it's not uncommon to see one just being outside even in Seattle. There are Skagit River eagle videos on KZbin, I recommend one called The Bald Eagles of Washington from the Evergreen Wilderness channel. Fun fact: Benjamin Franklin wanted our national bird to be the wild turkey.

[@nowhereman725_]

I've seen dozens of bald eagles in the South Carolina Lowcountry (where we eat mustard-based BBQ) because of the many lakes, ponds, swamps, and old rice canals in the area. In fact, one occasionally roosts in a cell phone tower a few hundred feet from my home.

[@laurieo877]

I saw one flying low following the river. It was so big it cast a giant shadow, beautiful beautiful bird. Im in South East Michigan.

[@heatherholly6563]

We have several bald eagles near our home here in Indiana. We live across the road from a small river. They are awesome to see.

[@lostmyshoe2294]

I currently live in Pensacola FL. I knew we had them in Florida but I hadn’t seen one in the 25 years I had been here until a few years ago when two appeared in my housing area and landed in my neighbor’s tree. It was amazing! I hadn’t seen one since I was 12. My father was in the Marine Corps and when I was young we were stationed on Adak AK. There I would see several daily from our house.

[@ZackHamlin1]

Love the Winston Churchill quote at the end hahah

[@SighNaps]

The sound used in the video is a bald eagle sitting at rest and trying to call to others. If you hear them when they are fighting each other, or predators approaching the nest, it is an entirely different sound. Far closer to the screech the species became known for. There are examples on KZbin.

[@Mary-xo7ue]

This is one of the top reasons i miss alaska so deeply.😢miss seeing the gorgeous birds on a daily basis in abundance.❤rarely see them in indiana, but they are here❤

[@gl15col]

In parts of Michigan it's seen pretty often. Sometimes several in in one tree. I saw a pair in Nebraska, but they were just passing throughg through.

[@srqlisa7881]

Eagles not only need a water source they need tall trees to build their nest. I have been lucky enough to live 80’ from a nest. Baldy was the male, Henrietta was the female.and yes they can swim.

[@SighNaps]

I've had a bald eagle perch on my arm (over a padded leather sheath). A wildlife sanctuary near me has two that will fly to your arm from the arm of someone else on command from a handler. Despite the protection my arm was bruised for about two weeks. Their talons are deceptively powerful.

[@buster2268]

I am from Michigan. They are all over northern Michigan.

[@colbywood1785]

Kayak fishing a backwoods lake in northern New England. A bald eagle came down and landed on my kayak right in front of me. Looked at me for like 5 seconds, flapped it's wings and took off. Single coolest experience ever

[@GrammaNay]

I see them all the time when we're out fishing 🎣 😏 (Oregon coast & mountain lakes) I've seen them swoop up fish from rivers & lakes... truly majestic. (Just the feet go in the water.)

[@brendastamper9382]

I live in Northwest Montana. We were at the Libby Dam in the spring. The water was red with salmon. We counted 26 bald eagles!! We watched as they would snag the salmon from the Kootenai Rriver.. We do see them often. If you ever do get to visit… Glacier Park and The Kootenai National Forest are 2 of the most beautiful places in the United States. I live in Lakeside Montana. It’s-29 this morning 🥶😂

[@boomhaur626]

We have bald eagles nesting in the cliffs of the salt river in AZ that you can view certain times of the year while rafting but they are not what I'd consider a commonly seen bird here. It does make it a bit more special when you do get a glimpse or a show, they are very beautiful, and they do have a hunting screech that is a quit a bit more aggressive than the chirping sounds in his video.

[@thomasblack3675]

I'm 40 and I have seen one in Arkansas about 5 times! They can fly off with a 7 pound fish, and they're 18 years old before they get their white head,we have a 24 hour nest camera!💯😌

[@AdamNisbett]

0:53 The abundance does vary by region. The Southwest and Appalachian regions don’t see them nearly as much and even in places where they are around they’re much more common if you’re near lakes or large rivers. But yeah, in much of America you can see them randomly fly by, though they’re not the most common bird of prey in most places by any means.

[@Loki_Trickster]

Being from Indiana, when I do see one its normally a moment of awe. We have 300-400 roosts here, but its more common to see them here in winter when they start to use communal roosts when the northern Eagles come for open waterways.

[@kathrynsmigel4530]

I see several every day or minimally many times a week. I live next to a nest .it is huge . It is thrill to have and feel them fly over my head. I have heard the wings flapping. Whup,whup ,whup. Honestly they are majestic .my local birds don't go soutth for the winter. They do disappear for a couple of weeks. As always ks.

[@jamesweible5357]

Looking at the population chart, at america's bi-centennial (1976), our national bird was almost killed off. It's interesting how that one bird, which was a symbol, changed so much of how we operate and is still doing so.

[@DonnaDavisArt]

We see them often in Maine and sometimes here on Cape .We have their cousin the Osprey (another amazing large bird of prey that fishes) and as we live on the sea, we can watch them hunt and they do indeed dive into the water and come out with huge fish. It is funny that they are so large with the tiniest high pitch voices . I think they sound like chicks (Baby chickens).

[@seancord4571]

Hey Coeur D' Alene, ID mention! That's where I'm at. Coeur D' Alene is a stunningly beautiful lake town in Northern Idaho. It is a French word meaning the "heart of all" which was a French term given by French fur trappers and traders to the Native American Indians because of their shrewd trading skills. You would love it here Lewis. If you're ever in the states, make sure to come visit and hit me up if you do come. I'll show you around. With endless activities and recreation, coupled with its natural beauty, it's become somewhat of a tourist destination and a retreat for celebrities. You would not be disappointed. Also, I love your videos man. So entertaining, I can binge watch them for hours, and do! You're close to 100k in subs bro. Your channel is growing quickly! Congrats!

[@MERollered]

One of the best things that came out of the pandemic for my city (Salem, Oregon) is because we didn't have our fireworks over the river those two years it attracted a pair of bald eagles to nest in the park across the river from the city. Due to their nesting they moved the firework show to the fairgrounds (better place for it imo, situated for parking and hosting large crowds) and doing so they didn't scare off the eagles. But yes my home is near the boating launch of the Willamette (the river) which converges into one at that boating launch and continues northwards. But if I walk down there and play in the grass you can see the fly.

[@zach9036]

Depending on where you live it can be common to see them but they are also pretty rare these days. I usually see one or two a year in Michigan.

[@danpals7678]

We see them gathered in trees along the Mississippi River in Iowa and Illinois just below a small damn. The fish go through the dam and come out dazed and are easy pickins for eagles. I've seen them here in NE Florida at Shands Pier along the St. Johns River.

[@cryptoran7777]

I live in Northwest Indiana and for the first time in 63 years I saw a bald eagle two days ago flying over a partially snow covered farm field. He flew about 25 feet right over my vehicle it had to have a 6 foot wing span...Frickin awesome!!!

[@TruthOverEverything717]

In the Berkshires of Massachusetts, there is a river across from my house and I have about 6-8 bald eagles that are always around...

[@tanyamichelle3206]

Alaskan here, there is one outside my window right now!

[@spacetiger5076]

I live relatively (couple hours drive) close to Starved Rock park in Illinois, where these eagles can be seen yearly. This past couple years, I’ve seen a couple of them in my backyard checking out my chickens. They hung around for a while - it was pretty cool.

[@Kondase]

I grew up in the Northern California foothills and never saw a wild bald eagle until I moved to the deserts of St George, Utah. I had no idea there could be enough fish around here to sustain them.

[@gibster9624]

The movie sound we closely associate with the sound of an Eagle is actually a Red Tailed Hawk. So while the Eagles is the Face of America the Red Tailed Hawk is the Voice of it.

[@TerriLynn714]

I know in Warsaw Missouri you can see a lot of them during the winter and theres a lady that will bring the ones that can be released in the wild to the Truman Visiting Center ❤🦅

[@noahadams7784]

I have lived in the state of Maine all my life, Bald Eagles are a common site here. Don’t be fooled by how odd their calls sound, the call of an eagle can be heard from miles around and if you’re too close they’ll even hurt your ears. Due to my crippling fishing addiction, I’ve been able to get VERY close to them a few times and they are MUCH bigger than they are made out to be. A male bald eagle has a wingspan of 6-7 feet, but the females might as well be dragons because their wings are usually twice that size, they are so big that they shake entire trees when taking off and landing. Also, Bald Eagles have become so accustom to humans In my area, that several eagles will often gather around fishermen in the winter in order to get a free meal. Personally I have had a record of 7 eagles at once sitting on the ice with me waiting for me to catch food for them.

[@JKM395]

I live in N Central Florida, around Ocala, and I have a pair of Bald Eagles that stop by our property every year as they migrate. They are only here for a couple of days each way, just long enough to fill themselves up on field mice I suspect. They are gorgeous birds and it's really cool to watch them do their thing.

[@toportime]

Having been born in 1978, I disticly remember hearing about the conservation efforts to save the Blad Eagle in school.

[@jabreck1934]

I see bald eagles quite frequently in the Ojai Valley. CA. Lake Casitas. Also along the coastal mountain estuaries.

[@bluflaam777]

They're all over but aren't always seen. My sister lives in Idaho and the river near where she lives has several bald eagles. They make HUGE nests in tall trees along the river.

[@kathleenhayes9320]

When fishing in maine every yr see many of them. Even had a few of them follow us on the lake waiting for us to catch something thinking to get an easy meal. Yes I did have one grab my salmon as I was reeling it in. Beautiful birds

[@KevinPresents1]

I live in Main U.S.A. and saw two bald eagles today while working

[@MrSimpsoma]

When I was growing up in the 70's and 80's the bald eagle was endangered. But they made a miraculous come back!

[@Lastcircus176]

I’m 43 and just saw my 1st bald eagle about 5 years ago here in Michigan

[@cp368productions2]

You didn't used to see the Bald Eagle much outside of the Rocky Mountains as they almost went extinct. However in the last 10 years they have resurged in population. The Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in Seneca County, NY is the easiest place to spot one in NY being at the north end of Cayuga Lake near Seneca Falls the ispiration for Bedford Falls of Its A Wonderful Life, exists mostly as a safe place for the Bald Eagle. They have expanded their territory and there are now about 5 pairs or more within 20 miles of my house. In the area of the Montezuma NWR the large structures that carry high tension power lines have an eagle nest on every single one.

[@flboy85]

That's not true. I see them all the time here in central Florida

[@FurandFeathers71]

Where I live I don't see too many bald eagles. Some years ago, I have pics of 2 or 3 that were flying around our neighborhood, but the only real big bird of prey we see are hawks, Cooper's Hawiks.. Red Tail Hawks. One rainy day in Portland, OR, my friend and I were walking on the waterfront about to head home and we saw people staring up in a tree and it was a Bald Eagle! OMG IT was there enough to get some great pictures. So unusual I guess in that area. Majestic, Yes.I was in Awe.

[@someloser993]

They are not frequently sighted everywhere. That said, they are present in Michigan and there are Bald Eagles where I spend months camping so frequent sightings are enjoyable moments of my summer.

[@crazyjack3357]

In the city I used to live in there was bald eagles all over the place in the winter even the ice fisherman they all would contribute to a fish pile for the eagles

[@jenniferellingwood1848]

We have quite a few bald eagles around Indiana and lots of nests near where I live. We’ve had them fly over our house.

[@AlbertScoot]

I saw bald eagles flying around a few times when I lived in a tiny town in the middle of the desert.

The bald eagle was chosen to represent the United States as the native version of the eagle of Republican Rome. Benjamin Franklin didn't think it good enough (he considered it not much better than a scavenger) and proposed the wild turkey instead. We dodged a bullet there!

1:01 I've e seen them in Wisconsin. One landed on the side of the road when i was heading north to Minocqua,Wi - i head to veer off to not hit their wing. The caught dinner... Looked like a weasel ish or something. Almost had a heart attack... Amazing how big there wing span is. Definitely the most up close ive seen them. Usually i see them flying or in trees by Rivers.

As the video says, they live near water and eat mainly fish so if you spend any time in swamps, on lakes or near the seacoast, yes, you see them flying around and even more often can spot their nests.

Was born in the early 90s and I didn’t see my first wild eagle until maybe 2012, as the years go on though, they’ve become more common if you know where to look. Saw 2 today funny enough (adult and an adolescent). Lower NY

Bald eagles live near water, within a good flight. They are local many places, but they need space. I see them fly around Annapolis, MD, and Washington, DC. They have nest cams to watch the next generation.

Where I live in South Florida. I'm surrounded by wood. And a river. There's one who lives in the woods. I pull up a chair light a cigar. And watching fish. William s

He didn’t mention it in the video when discussing the sound, but almost always in videos when they show the Bald Eagle they usually play the call of the Red-tailed Hawk as that bird has a more intimidating screech rather than sounding like a chicken.

I don't see them every day; but I have seen them in the wild 15 miles from Philadelphia in New Jersey

We have nesting bald eagles (permanent residents) all over the place near me with one tiny park in the town I grew up in having 27 nesting pairs on the island alone.
