Title: Bald Eagle and Hawk pics from trail cam
Post by: barry on March 17, 2011, 03:21:47 PM
Cleaned some old meat out a freezer last week and dumped it in the woods hoping to get a coyote on the trail cam. Well we got lots of buzzards  and crows but we were really surprised when this flew in...
A Bald Eagle. I know some of you see these on a regular basis but trust me Bald Eagle in the Mountains of VA is rare, I've only seen one other.

After that a couple of Red Tailed Hawks showed up.
I guess this one is claiming his territory.

Very cool pics. Beautiful birds of prey. I would vote for a juvenile eagle as well.

Juvenile Bald Eagles do not have white markings, they are all brown.  Here in AR, we are overtaken with Bald Eagles.  I literally see them soaring and can hear their calls all the time.  I saw one last weekend while trout fishing catch at least 5 trout during the day.  He would sit in a tree right above us and eat.
