Bald Eagles remind us of what we value.
Cheers to you from the eagles who look to us for their survival~
Note: Bald Eagle populations were decimated in the wild in the United States. Careful environmental conservation measures and biological reintroduction efforts have helped restore bald eagle populations. Dismantling environmental protections may bring bald eagles back to the brink of extinction and beyond. Their survival is up to us.

Great birds.
Thank you & cheers!
They must be facinating to see in the wild, I never have. They look fierce and aggravated by that scowl on their face. Perhaps that’s just my niave human perception and this was the happiest day in their lives 😀 Seriously though, I hate how a lot of humans take the planet for granted. I fear for our future as well as the bald eagle. It’s not looking promising at all.
No, it isn’t looking promising and it is depressing. Bald Eagles always look intensely disapproving, like a very severe nun at catechism. I do think this was one of their happiest days because the salmon were running and they were gorging! Now the fish? They weren’t having a very good day, poor fish~ 🐟🐟🐟
LOL, laughing at the nun comparison 😀 teehee.

Seeing these birds “up close” is wonderful. Thanks for highlighting them. What powerful birds.
They are so impressive on so many levels, so pleased you enjoyed them & cheers to you~ 🦅
To you as well, Cindy. All the best in 2017.

Bald eagles are amazing birds. I saw a few during the years. So majestic. You said it well. In Alaska, they thrive. Sad that they are slowly disappearing like so many of God’s creations. The fault of destructive persons. We are to be caretakers of God’s creatures. Great post. Marvelous photos.
We were to be caretakers of all God’s creatures, great & small, wise and wonderful. I wish more of us paid attention to this too my friend & cheers to you~ 🦅🦅
You capture their expressions quite well! Beautiful work, Cindy! I wish humans were better stewards of the Earth than we are. Progress is slow, sometimes seeming to be stepping backwards. The future is of great concern.
I share your concerns wholeheartedly! 🦅
You’re right Cindy– they do look like such intelligent birds– so stately. I’m always amazed how you get such close up detailed photos. Hope you’re having a wonderful Christmas time!! hugs hugs.
Thank you my kind friend and Happiest Christmas to you and your family! 🦅🦅
Totally awesome pics!
Ah, honored, thank you & cheers too!
stunning. Most wonderful birds. Thank you for these fabulous pictures.
I so look forward to sharing 2017 with you! 🕯
I’ve painted a lot of this eagle,which is my favourite world.
I hope you post more of these. I would love seeing them!
Those eagles look so mighty. 🙂
I wouldn’t want to start an argument with one!
A couple of weeks ago, I saw two bald eagles sitting side by side high in a tree along the highway in northern WA – such a surprise to spot them! I’ve never before seen an eagle in the wild. They were huge birds, and so visible; made me think how vulnerable they and other wildlife are when amongst us. I wish you a very happy new year Cindy, and I look forward to seeing more of this beautiful world through your eyes : ) ~ Peri
You must have been truly thrilled at your first sighting of these magnificent creatures! I agree with you completely, the more you see wild animals in their natural spaces, the more you realize how much their welfare depends upon us. Thank you for such lovely thoughts. You touched my heart~
Thank you, Cindy. I knew you were the perfect person to share my eagle sighting with!

When you want to enjoy the art of photography, you have to resort to your photos. These are a sample that you have the gift of expressing what your eyes see in a poetic and realistic way. Your pictures are always expectaculares and with a sensational coloring.
Your lovely and thoughtful comment touches my heart. Thank you sincerely for your kindness and cheers to you! 💐

De Amerikaanse zeearend of witkopzeearend (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) mag dan over de gehele wereeld wel een voorbeeldvogel zijn van gracieuze macht en vliegkunst, alsook een bijbels voorbeeld van zorg, de mens zijn onzorgvuldige omgang met de natuur had deze wonderbaarlijke vogels bijna uitgeroeid.
Gelukkig hebben zorgvuldige maatregelen voor milieubehoud en inspanningen voor biologische herintroductie in het Noordelijk halfrond bijgedragen aan het herstel van de verschillende adelaarspopulaties en hebben er voor gezorgd dat wij deze prachtvogels weer prachtfiguren zien maken in de lucht.
Ik ben zo dankbaar voor je vriendelijkheid en gevoeligheid voor de kwetsbare wilde adelaarspopulaties. Bedankt voor het goede dat je elke dag doet!
