    Love watching eagles chase ducks. They can't get under the dock fast enough.....

    I wish we had Bald Eagles where I live in abundance.

    I photographed this a few months back two steps outside my office door.

    Beautiful!

    Caught this sucker right in my backyard here in Chicago. Anyone know what type he is? The photos make him look alot smaller than he actually is.

    Looks a lot like a red shouldered hawk to me. Google it and see if it is in your area.

    Yep! They are all over in Eastern Iowa so I am sure they are in Chicago.

    About a month ago or so I witnessed a bald eagle go after a loon. It couldn't get it out of the water so it swam with its wings while it had the loon in its talons. It got to shore and killed it and defeathered it then went to town eating it. Within an hour it was nothing but feathers and bones. Remarkable bird.

    Still have a few months before the eagles come back. Always love to see them in the spring.

    AmazonX's hawk looks like a Coopers Hawk.

    When night falls and the hawks and eagles go to bed, the night shift takes over.

    This photo was taken from my patio and the tree was across the street.

    We may not have very many bald eagles in San Diego.

    But we do have thousands of wild parrots .....

    Bald Eagles are magnificent birds.... We have them here in the Catskills... and there were many in Washington State where I lived.... once saw a field with over fifty on the ground...we figured there were an abundance of field mice there...Cheers, RickO

    It's not every day you look on on your front porch and find a large bird of prey 5 feet from the window, but here' a Cooper's Hawk on my porch railing from 4 weeks ago. He or she is actually sitting underneath the porch roof. Hey, where did all those pesky squirrels go?

    That is an immature Cooper's hawk, public enemy #1 here as they attack and kill birds at my bird feeder. They are 90% or more bird killers, they ignore squirrels.
