Those trees arnt quite tall enough and they wont nest close to dwellings but if eagles made a nest and you could watch the daily progress you would have experience of a lifetime. Then you would know why they are a treasure and our national symbol. They are awesome!!!!

Geez! All that snow! I am sure glad I live in West Texas! We had one snow...lasted 30 minutes and was gone! It has been in the upper 60's almost all winter long! Crystal, that is a great picture. --Mike

One time we were rock climbing in the Organ mountains in New Mexico. At a critical part (sheer straight up )we must have been close to a nest for a mama eagle started swooping at us claws and beak open. At 2 feet away it is a sight one never forgets. Our protection was being flat against the cliff. I was carrying but did not shoot. She finally gave up.

Yeah, lookin' for some field mice for certain!
What a great pic!
haha... actually, my mother in-law always puts her dog inside when she sees an eagle. It's just a little toy poodle. She's been swooped at before! There's quite a few eagles around here. They're not as scarce as they are in the US... kind of ironic.

Thankfully they are making a comeback We live in Northern Colorado next to the foothills My sis knows of a few nests in trees similar to those in sparse populated areas and she tracks them and photos on a weekly basis. One pair has nested in the same spot for a few years.
