A real Bald Eagle and his Nest

Right beside the waters of Burrard Inlet this Bald Eagle guards his family's nest. His Missus is currently incubating two eggs, however, I took this image last Fall.
.
and here he is a close up taken when we came in by sailboat:

    Sehr imposante Tiere. Ich konnte sie jetzt auf einer Vogelshow beobachten. Schön, das es sie auch noch in freier Wildbahn gibt.

    Mir ist es während meines Kanadaurlaubes vor 5 Jahren nicht gelungen, einen Weißkopfseeadler so deutlich und gut abzulichten, noch dazu vor seinem Nest.

    I've never seen this bird in person... but I have heard that it is fantastic when they spread their wings and fly. What a nice opportunity to take this picture. Cheers! Gi

    Wahrhaft majestätisch hockt er da, und was für einen tollen Thron er zusammen mit seiner Gemahlin gebaut hat!
    Liebe Grüße, Ernst

    Mister Bald Eagle probably peers after feed. Precautionary he remains near the nest.
    By this happy chance we can see in your picture both, eagle and nest.

    for sure: its a rare shot! and the eagle seems not to like it being a photo-star.

    : ))) it's sam, the eagle! he looks so tiny compared to his huge nest and even huger tree ; )) – a magic shot of the great wild bird and… my favorite muppet ; ))! hugs, sabine.
