This show is fast becoming one of my favorites. The best part of any trek for me is the opportunities to view nature as nature wants to be viewed... extraordinarily and gently. Thank you for making a show with people who look like us taking just as much enjoyment from our beautiful world. Blessed be Mr Cooper.

Thank you for being gentle with Takoda and providing us with his gender! It was such an enjoyable nesting season and we miss him very much !

The closest thing to a bald eagle I have ever handled was a full grown red tailed hawk. I had gone fishing and found it in the field drooling so I wrapped it in an apron and took him to a wildlife certified vet. That was the most exquisite experiences of my 77 years of life.

What a great experience to have

[@Huncho007]

If you didn’t know I believe the caw which is used in television that depicts a bald eagles caw is actually the red tailed hawks . They opted to use the red tails due to its more menacing sound compared to the eagles which sounds more wimpy. I guess they didn’t want the national animal to sound not as menacing 😅

When was it decided to band NA bald eagles? Thanks.

I thought eagles would attack humans if they approached their nests. It turns out not to be the case.

[@brendatrump5163]

That looks like it would be uncomfortable to him. I hope it doesn't scrape around his foot like maybe shackles would to a human. I don't like this at all!!!! Seems like you could create something way more comfortable for them. Please do better.

[@darthenx2585]

Could of done the same thing up in the tree. But I suppose it was more important to get a picture with it.

[@corvespid4925]

I'll leave that assessment to professionals.

[@terrigreen650]

DC nest just underwent nestoration by the parents from a partial collapse . Best not to have too much human weight and activity within the nest plus its safer for the eaglet and the biologists to be on stable ground.

[@lyndasears1684]

Such a stunningly beautiful youngster. Thank you for what you do.

[@tracyhaverstick5672]

The eagle whisperer! Thank you for caring for our national treasure.

[@debszakormos7919]
