From YouTube: I had gone on a short errand and when I came home I found the cats hanging out with these 2 eagles. During the summer these same two eagles hang out on my porch about every day like it is their own private perch. They also have claim to the lamp post across the street from my house.
I just happened to have my FlipVideo on me so I thought I would take a short video to show everyone that the eagles have no interest in eating my cats. The cats sometimes look at the eagles like they would love to catch that big bird but the cats know they don't stand a chance to even try. Look at the video of Suitcase getting slapped by the eagle(that was the last time he tried to catch one).
I have also been trying to figure out which eagle is the female and which is the male and I think the braver one that never flies away is the female and the smaller, more scared one is the male. They sit on the porch rail and watch me in my kitchen for hours! I love the sounds they make!

IssykittyIs this in Alaska? Some of our relatives took a cruise on up there and they flipped out and took pics of a lot of them. Bald Eagles are a common sight there, apparently.
critical_dI think you are right Issy...the vid was uploaded to YT by "pla1554alaska". Check out some of their other vids...they have eagles like we have seagulls!

IssykittyYeah, cool! I saw a lot of pics in their "cruise album" of pairs of eagles just hanging out on a rock up close to my amazement, and that's when I was told that this was an ordinary occurence there. Who knew?
PaybackTons of bald eagles up here (down here?) in Canada too. I figure they all went north cuz of our better weed... I mean better weather. They like the pot... I mean cold.

EnzoblueIn PA here I saw a bald eagle at conserve and told a bird expert at work about it. I told him it's the first time I've ever seen a bald eagle in the wild. He said I'm wrong, that I've probably seen a few and just didn't know what I was looking at and that he see's 1 or 2 every month just on his ride to work. Food for thought.

Are you sure she wasn't Lady Gaga?
Loud eagles too!

critical_dI have never seen a bald eagle in the wild but there is one that lives at the Maine Wildlife Park. I could not get over how big the bird was. The foot was as big as my hand and the talons were as long as my fingers!

I have seen Ospreys when I go hiking along the coast and they are just as beautiful.

bareboards2My favorite moment with an eagle... sat down near the edge of a bluff. An eagle playing with the cliff updrafts flew right in front of my face, not three feet away.
Scared the crap out of both of us.
Glorious!

quantumushroomEAGLES. AMERICATS. It's a Tea Party!
xxovercastxxSeveral years ago I had a robin that would sit on the driver-side mirror of my car and repeatedly slam himself into the window, shitting down the door with each impact. He did this every day, from spring until fall, whenever the car was in the driveway, for 2 years straight.
The porch eagles are definitely cooler than my car robin.

You need to be taught a lesson in appreciation. No bird has shat on my vehicle with repeat offense.

Yea... I'm pretty sure what the eagles left behind was more impressive too...
shponglefansays...I half expected that eagle to attack at the end.
