Yeah, quite the magnificent bird.....I live a few miles from a winter nesting site....take the kids there every year to heck them out.

One year we had one swoop off the cliffs to go fish in the river and he flew right over us at about 30', that was cool!!!!

Bald Eagles at Lake Coeur d'Alene, ID http://www.id.blm.gov/eagle_watch/index.htm I went up here today to check them out, and let me say, these are magnificent creatures. Up to a 7 foot wingspan, 12 lbs and 3 feet long, they are some of the biggest birds I've ever seen in flight. Flight is an understatement, when they get up and going, they soar like hawks and falcons, effortlessly tipping their wings to catch thermals and swoop and dive - almost like they are playing. Simply awesome! I saw 5 or 6 different ones, they are kind Rating: 5
