A portrait of a Hawk Eagle found near Lake Atitlan in the highlands of Guatemala.
Australia’s largest bird of prey, the Wedge-tailed Eagle builds a giant stick-nest high above in tall trees. Found in open forest and country, and on the hills and mountain ranges all over mainland Australia, an adult has a wingspan of 2.3m and is able to carry twice its own weight in its powerful talons.
These Bald Eagles are a very common sight along the coastal areas of Newfoundland. My wife and I have seen numerous Eagles in our travels up and down the coast. She actually took this shot on one of our many outings. / / Visit my website On The Rock Photography / /
I think the photo and the lyrics from a song by Michael Joncas say it all. . . This is dedicated to everyone who is experiencing disappointments and needs a little boost for sagging spirits.
I know the name now, thank you ;) / The english name is ‘Griffon Vulture’ and the latin name is ‘Gyps Fulvus’. / In Holland we call it a ‘kale gier’ (bold vulture).
The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), This magnificient creature was once in danger of becoming extinct. Thanks to the conservation efforts of many individuals and organizations, the bald eagle is now considered “least concern” on the IUCN red list. This goes to show how education and awareness can positively effect declining animal populations in the wild. The United States of America’s national bird, is the only eagle unique to North America. The bald eagle’s scientific name signifies a sea (halo) eagle (aeetos) with a white (leukos) head. At one time, the word “bald” meant “white,” not hairless. Bald eagles are found over most of North America, from Alaska and Canada to northern Mexico. About half of the world’s 70,000 bald eagles live in Alaska. Combined with British Columbia’s population of about 20,000, the northwest coast of North America is by far their greatest stronghold for bald eagles. They flourish here in part because of the salmon. Dead or dying fish are an important food source for all bald eagles. Bald Eagles mate for life with one partner. Eagles are a member of the Accipitridae family, which also includes hawks, kites, and old-world vultures. Be sure to check out my other animal images: (Simply Click on the thumbnail to purchase!)
So this Eagle and his cute self, had just finished taking a bath, then he jumped out, fluffed his feathers to dry off…how cute is that to see!!!
before scotland was called scotland by the invaders it was called Pictland, the Picts were the pre-celtic natives of Britain, most famous for defeating the Roman empire. They were also known for their artistry, here are some Pictish animal designs; indigenous symbols that the incoming Celtic monks incorporated into their manuscripts

Yesterday afternoon we went to the lake for our walk and were blessed to see a magnificent Bald Eagle sitting in a tree right beside the walking path. He hung out in that tree for about 2 hours, flying occasionally over the lake in a big circle and then returning to his tree. / It was one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had in nature, just to be there so close and watch him for so long….a blessing, indeed…..I am still in awe this morning as I look at all the shots we took…. / Thank you, Wehali (that’s Eagle in the Cherokee language). /
This Bald Eagle sat in a tree by the walking path at Lake Estes a couple of days ago for about 2 hours and allowed us to observe him and take a lot of pictures….for awhile he was facing away from us, then all of a sudden, he spread his wings, stood up and turned around….wow….it was amazing to see those huge wings come up and out!!! it happened so quickly that i cut off the bottom of one of his wings in the shot, so i tried to balance it by cropping a little….is he beautiful or what???

A combination of a watercolour painting I did and CS2 Thanks for looking
This morning at the Lake, I witnessed some Elk action like I have never seen before….there were 6 large Bulls and a herd of about 40 cows and babies….the Bulls were competing for the harem and they all crossed the lake over to the side I was on, chasing, bugling, and running in chaos….the two biggest Bulls did some serious sparring less than 20 feet from where I was standing….the sound of all the bugling and the crashing of antlers was unbelievable…. And…..when I uploaded these pictures to the computer, I was astonished to see in the background….in the water behind one of the Bulls…..the Bald Eagle standing on a sandbar having his breakfast! I never even noticed his presence, as I was so taken with all the Elk activity…Spirit is always present in all things, in all situations, whether or not we are aware of it….

Featured in the Canon DSLR group and / in the 5 D Mark II group. The Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America that is most recognizable as the national bird and symbol of the United States of America. This sea eagle has two known sub-species and forms a species pair with the White-tailed Eagle. Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting. Males and females are identical in plumage coloration. Its diet consists mainly of fish, but it is an opportunistic feeder. It hunts fish by swooping down and snatching the fish out of the water with its talons. It is sexually mature at four years or five years of age. In the wild, Bald Eagles can live up to thirty years, and often survive longer in captivity. The Bald Eagle builds the largest nest of any North American bird, up to 4 meters (13 ft) deep, 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) wide, and one tonne (1.1 tons) in weight. The species was on the brink of extinction in the continental United States (while flourishing in much of Alaska and Canada) late in the 20th century, but now has a stable population and has been officially removed from the U.S. federal government’s list of endangered species. The Bald Eagle was officially reclassified from “Endangered” to “Threatened” on July 12, 1995 by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. On July 6, 1999, a proposal was initiated “To Remove the Bald Eagle in the Lower 48 States From the List of Endangered and Threatened Wildlife.” It was de-listed on June 28, 2007. The plumage of an adult Bald Eagle is evenly brown with a white head and tail. The tail is moderately long and slightly wedge-shaped. Males and females are identical in plumage coloration, however females display sexual dimorphism in that they are 25 percent larger than males. The beak, feet, and irises are bright yellow. The legs are feather-free, and the toes are short and powerful with large talons. The highly developed talon of the hind toe is used to pierce the vital areas of prey while it is held immobile by the front toes. The beak is large and hooked, with a yellow cere. The plumage of the immature is brown, speckled with white until the fifth (rarely fourth, very rarely third) year, when it reaches sexual maturity. Immature Bald Eagles are distinguishable from the Golden Eagle in that the former has a more protruding head with a larger bill, straighter edged wings which are held flat (not slightly raised) and with a stiffer wing beat, and feathers which do not completely cover the legs. The Bald Eagle is a large bird, with a body length ranges from 70–102 centimeters (28–40 in). Adult females have a wingspan of up to 2.44 m (96 in), while adult males may be as small as 1.68 m (66 in). Adult females weigh approximately 5.8 kilograms (13 lb), males weigh 4.1 kilograms (9.0 lb).[8] The size of the bird varies by location; the smallest specimens are those from Florida, where an adult male may barely exceed 2.3 kilograms (5.1 lb) and a wingspan of 1.8 m (5.9 ft). The largest are Alaskan birds, where large females may exceed 7.5 kilograms (17 lb) and have a wingspan of over 2.4 m (7.9 ft). The call consists of weak chirping whistles, harsher and more shrill from young birds than adults. The average lifespan of Bald Eagles in the wild is around 20 years, with the oldest living to be about 30. In captivity, they often live somewhat longer. In one instance, a captive individual in New York lived for nearly 50 years. As with size, the average lifespan of an eagle population appears to be influenced by its location. / Source: Wikipedia Canon EOS 5D Mark II / Canon Zoom lens EF 100-400mm 1: 4.5-5.6 L IS / Exposure time 1/2500s / Aperture value f/5.6 / ISO 400 / Focal length 400 mm Picture made at the Roofvogelboerderij in Berkel en Rodenrijs, The Netherlands
This is the design I used for a t-shirt I posted yesterday. Someone expressed interest in a print of this design, so here it is! :) Enjoy! Mixed media; an original collage I did then altered and enhanced digitally.
