Bald eagle

Saw this eagle while fishing for bass today. Flew over carrying a squirrel. Heard her bring it to a nest of eaglets. Pulled up to bank and followed their sounds to find a pair of bald eagles. Taken at Cotile Lake in Rapides Parish.

Didn't know there was a pair that way! Super cool!! There's a pair off Hwy 4 near Boueff WMA that had left. But they recently came back......really amazing sight!! You don't know how big they really are till you get close to one. So Majestic!!!

Awesome pics, thanks

Feesherman 03-15-2012 05:39 PM

Yeah toledo bend is loaded with em.

Pastor J 03-15-2012 06:35 PM

I found the nest and about 50 yards from the tree there was the carcass of a catfish that they just devoured! Yes that is a serious bird with a huge wing span and talons that catch fish better than any hook you could buy! Lol

RedfishPoker 03-15-2012 11:39 PM

Beautiful picture!!! We saw 'em at Bayou Teche and Grassy Lake this week. Awesome!!!!

Nice pics. It's pretty cool you were able to find the nest. I just recently found a new eagle's nest near my grandma's house. The Indiana DNR bought a large piece of property and turned into back into a wetlands area and there seems to be more and more eagles showing up every year.

iron man 03-21-2012 02:43 PM

Pretty cool. Starting to see them regularly around Lake Verret/Pierre Part. Saw 2 while fishing Petite Amite about a year ago both about 30 feet above the water.
