A
FAVORITE EAGLE PERCH
I
often see a majestic pair of bald eagles sitting on two bare branches on the top
of a tall poplar on the northeast side of Columbia Lake when I am canoeing.
July 2, 2007

The
picture above, with my canoe in the foreground, was taken very near the
eagles favorite perch, and looks southwest over Columbia Lake.
They are quite used to me by now and, as I am no
threat to them from the water, they just sit and observe me observing
them.
From my nearby vantage
point they are an awe inspiring sight with the Fairmont Mountains silhouetted behind them.
I feel that they will also warn me with their
cackling voices should a bear be approaching.

TAKES OFF OVER THE WETLANDS

NATURE NOTES:
Although nearly the
same size and structure there are some interesting and significant differences between the
bald and golden eagles, especially in their coloring, predatory habits and
habitat.
Many cultures revere the eagle as one of the most important of
their gods.
