#baldeagle — Public Fediverse posts

(Cross-posted from my site, where there are other photos to see: https://andrewflenniken.com/2026/05/14/may-14th-2026-contesting-the-pole-position/)

Stopped by Marina Beach Park in Edmonds the other day, and witnessed a couple of neighbors having a pole-ite argument.

I'd originally headed there in hopes of getting some photos of the Orcas that had been seen nearby, but by the time I arrived they'd moved on.  The eagle on the post was a worthy substitute, and the other birds coming over to complain in person about his presence made for some fun photo opportunities.  Given the combination of things (Bald Eagle, Puget Sound, ferry, swimmer, Olympic Mountains) it was a Very Washington day for shooting.  Which was pretty great.

Gear: Nikon Z 7II, Sigma 150-600mm f5-6.3

At the bald birb nest today, the eaglet seemed to almost be double in size since last week. Hanging out at the top of the nest while mom flew overhead.

Definitely only one eaglet in the second year for this pair. 

Sandor - #BaldEagle doing his annual ground nest building. He does it every Spring. Even though he's unable to mate or fly to build nest high up, his natural nest building instinct is still strong. He's been at #NIWRA for 25 years. I first met him, a few months after he arrived & was in very critical/near death condition. He made a great recovery but his broken wing never fully recovered, so he can't fly. He's a resident animal ambassador.

Casey - #BaldEagle with a broken wing.

Casey was found on the ground with no nest nearby. He has a non-repairable dislocated wing and will live at the Centre for the rest of his life. He is an #AnimalAmbassador in their education program.

Today I saw 3 bald eagles at the nest. Both adults were there and for a brief few seconds a small fuzzy head popped up as I watched via my binoculars!

I guess that’s a “lifer” (if I cared about that sort of thing) because I have not spotted a hatchling that young before.

One of the adults flew off, but then returned about 10 minutes later to do another or finish the nest exchange while the other adult flew off to the usual perch on a tree about 30m away.

Did you say something about fish, flying, or birds? Aetus may have something nerdy to add to the conversation. He means well.

Look how tiny Peanut used to be! Especially compared to big ol' Brutus. And now he's flying around all by himself. Birds are cool.

Little Peanut is not so little anymore—he fledged today! He's been putting up with multiple owl attacks every night lately, and was bullied a lot by big brother Brutus early on, but look at him go now. Happy fledge day, Peanut!

Seated eagle-old-I at the top of a tree—A spring wind

座ったわし木の上に見る春の風

I stopped off after lunch to watch the bald eagle nest and there were two eagles. One perched at the top of the tree and the other in the nest. Apparently there are some hatchlings as well since 3/27, but I did not witness any feeding behavior while I was there. There was a moderate wind coming from the southwest, which indicates warmer weather.

In any case, I thought up this silly haiku that pivots the word for I (when used as an old man, which I feel like on a daily basis) and eagle, which makes it entirely too hard to...

Jackie & Shadow's second clutch of eggs have both hatched! (The first clutch broke/were eaten by ravens.) They hatched really close together, so they're a similar size, and both aggressive so far, so I can never tell which one is older. Both doing well so far, and getting lots of food and protection, of course.

A Bald Eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) with its legs and wings outstretched to come in for a landing on a beached log. Photographed along the Harrison River in the Fraser Valley of British Columbia.

One chick is sitting up and eating (and adorably wobbly), the second is well on the way to completely hatching. Rewind to 6:54am.

We are getting some new neighbors...I love watching the Bald Eagles nesting...Such beautiful animals. We have to keep our chickens netted, but it's worth it!

Juvenile bald eagle, the parents were watching junior fly around #bird #birds #birdsofmastodon #nisqually #seattle #photography #nature #naturephotography #photo #portfolioday #baldeagle #eagle

It is Friday, after another geopolitical week of #fear, #turmoil & #chaos driven by #Trump’s #RevengePolitics. As such, I may be guilty of endeavoring to cleanse both my heart/mind/timeline.

And because I am not involved in any primary beauty, here is another #JackieAndShadow video.

[Last year at this time I posted hourly #BabySquirrel (click) updates. Thankfully–for them–none have need rescuing yet]

Proving my point, #Jackie returns to the nest, bloodied beak & claws, prey in claw, & successfully feeds both #eaglets!!

First feeding of eaglet #2!

I love #Shadow, but he’s just not as good at the whole feeding thing as #Jackie.

Video: Eaglets, with wide open beaks, are ready for a feeding. Shadow, belatedly realizes it, but the chicks have tired themselves out, so when he tries to give them some bits of fish, they’ve exhausted themselves. - I do think one of the eaglets got a little nibblet.

Neighbourhood birds drama. #BaldEagle flew over our house & #perched atop our neighbour's fir tree, across the road. A #raven flies in after about 5 minutes & starts harassing the #eagle 🦅 After about 8 minutes of no peaceful perching - both #birds fly off in separate directions.

Shot w/my #Samsung8 😊
