Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus)
Graceful and looking confident
the Bald Eagle dominates the skies around British Columbia, and is more
abundant in the Pacific West Coast regions of BC. Usually within the
vicinity of trees the eagle is a master at building nests. The Bald
Eagle builds huge nesting areas on the top of trees usually within a
short distance of its main food source.
It mates for life and returns to
the same nest every year building onto the nest therefore increasing
its size. The Bald Eagles are habit forming creatures and often make
their nests near lakes and oceans within eyesight of their hunting grounds.
The Bald Eagle is mostly a scavenger. The birds
razor like talons and beaks, keen eyesight and hearing does make this
eagle a great hunter. The Bald Eagle is a bit lazy though, as it enjoys
eating dead fish washed up on the shore or left behind. They are not
into working for a meal if they do not have too.
Not much for manners, the Bald Eagle will rob an
osprey of its catch, without even giving it a second thought. It will
catch its own fish if it must and will resort to hunting squirrels,
rabbits, and smaller birds on occasion if the food supply is getting
scarce.
