We're a half mle from the river so they are around a lot. We're some 600 feet above the river so we don;t see them up here that often.kenny thomas":2dyvlni2 said:I wish I could see them all the time. I love watching them. Dun, is that a resident or just migrating?
Never had a problem with that. The ones here fish most of the time. I did have One lite next to the house one morning to get a cow's after birth. I see them eating road kill. Owls and hawks are more dangerous to yard animalshighgrit":jl9gyhrx said:Their beautiful but I don't want them around my place. I have a weiner dog and 2 barn cats that I want to keep around. And if one of them beautiful birds was to catch one of my animals I'd be upset.
Only speaking from what I have studied and read and not what I have seen but, it seems they do not catch anything except fish alive. They eat a lot of dead stuff just like a buzzard. Again only what I have read and studied so that could be wrong. The few I see are along the river but usually after road kill.highgrit":10xc0fmf said:Their beautiful but I don't want them around my place.

I fished Long Lake almost every day, 1 end of the lake was all snags and that was the rookerie. Used to get a kick out of watching the eagles bully the toehr fish catching birds into dropping their catch then seeing the eagles swoop done and catch the fish in the air.Named'em Tamed'em":1ljptpe5 said:Dun, Port Orchard is where my mom lives. We have lost a couple chicken to eagles over the years.
They cut a tree down near Kitsap lake that had an eagle nest in it and it had several small dog collars in it along with trolling gear for trout.
