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. 😂

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$$

[@ceegesange9904]

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.

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 KZbin 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.

[@chouseification]

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.

[@judyhorstmann6332]

​@@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.

[@tricitymorte1]

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.

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.

[@evilproducer01]

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.

[@KCNicole]

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.

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.

[@Blu9_Nin9]

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.

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.

[@bobdickerson3434]

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.

[@toomanyopinions8353]

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.

[@krisschobelock4973]

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!!

[@Deadcntr]

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.

[@patriciab8876]

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.

[@Jml416]

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!

[@eaglelove00]

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.

[@jonathonfrazier6622]

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.

[@kafkakaraoke]

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.

[@johnbeaulieu2404]

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.

[@raven2795]

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 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

[@sljallen]

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

[@TedC5203]

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.

[@Sarah1519]

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.

[@Cricket2731]

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.

[@timlois]

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.

[@rebeccameinzer8551]

[@Rkbmomma]

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.😊

[@amberswafford9305]

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.

[@aniE1869]

If you want to see hundreds of bald eagles in one place, you should go to Homer Alaska in the summer. Hopefully you don't mind the smell of rotting fish.

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.

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

I live in southeast Georgia now and I see them here several times a year. Their size and beauty is amazing.

[@rebeccachapman1231]

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.

In Florida there's a long stretch of road running north to south called US 19. When you get down around Clearwater and further south you can look at the top of the telephone poles which go up about 60 ft in the air and at the top of a bunch of them are eagle's nests. That's the place where I've seen most of my eagles. And I'd say there's probably at least six or eight nests if you travel the whole length of US 19. They're pretty prolific down there.

Once the eagles had removed the ducks over the course of several weeks, they moved on. Ducks are stupid. Our chickens would hide under trees, yard furniture, under vehicles, or not leave the coop if they saw the eagles. The ducks didn’t care. They’d just sun themselves in the middle of the yard making themselves Darwin Awards “winners.”

Where I live in Virginia, I’m between the Potomac and the Rappahannock Rivers, in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. There’s a park that in the last decade or so became a state park. It’s an old property on the Potomac and for longer than I’ve been alive it’s also been a bald eagle sanctuary. You can take tours and go see the eagles, and examine a huge nest up close. But I’ve found that if you hang around the river, you’ll see them. And the county is marshy enough that you can sometimes find them almost anywhere. Sometimes they hang out with buzzards picking at roadkill. It’s always weird to see such a gorgeous bird associating with nature’s undertakers, but it happens. Whenever I see a big bird soaring on the thermals up in the blue, I always stop and look. Most times it’s a buzzard. But once in a while you’ll notice the wings are different, straighter, and you’ll see a white tail and head flashing in the sun, and you’ll know.

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!"😄

I have seen several Bald Eagles. Many nest along the Snake River as in runs through Wyoming.

True story- Back in 1998, I was vacationing in Houghton Lake, Michigan. As I was wrapping up on fishing and heading back to the cottage, I saw my first bald eagle. I'm now southbound on Old US-27, and this kamikaze eagle, is bearing down right at me...Northbound! Talons out, it flashed by my windshield about 3 feet away. I was never aware ,that 1998 Buicks, were on the Top Ten Eagle Snacks List!!

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.

Had one fly over me in my back yard last week in Maine.
