Several species and shots available in today’s bird watching photo update, including some Bald Eagle captures that were a lot of fun to get. We currently have a robin nesting on the back deck, a blue bird in a nesting box out back and a sparrow of some sort nesting on the front porch. Fingers crossed I might be able to get some baby birds and feeding shots for the next bird post! Until then i hope you will enjoy these. What is your favorite bird?

Baldy In The Meadow
Before European settlers first sailed to America’s shores, bald eagles may have numbered half a million. They existed along the Atlantic from Labrador to the tip of south Florida, and along the Pacific from Baja California to Alaska. They inhabited every large river and concentration of lakes within North America. They nested in forty-five of the lower forty-eight states; one researcher estimated an eagle nest for every mile of shore along Chesapeake Bay. They congregated on the lower Hudson, and were extremely abundant along the coast of Maine.
There is no single cause for the decline in the bald eagle population. When Europeans first arrived on this continent, bald eagles were fairly common. As the human population grew, the eagle population declined because food supplies decreased. People hunted and fished over a broad area; essentially, eagles and humans competed for the same food, and humans, with weapons at their disposal, had the advantage. As the human population expanded westward, the natural habitat of the eagles was destroyed, leaving them fewer places to nest and hunt, which caused the population of bald eagles to decline sharply by the late 1800s.
