I have one living by the reservoir in front of my property seems to prefer fish rather than my birds has not given me any problems in the last 2 years he has hung out, the crows give him/her a hard time though.

Nice bird! Don't shoot that one

Maybe you can fix it one of those coon skin caps for Christmas?

I think the ones in Alaska eat lots of fish, that may be their primary diet. Is yours sticking around year round? Here where I live, they are migratory, I think.


Edited to add: they show up in a couple of the wildlife refuges here in the winter time

We had a visitor this morning, lucky it didn't get breakfast. 250 yards out is still too close.

Yuck, is that a bald eagle???

I know a bald head does appreciate a hat!

No, we only see them occasionally during the winters.

Hey, that's our national bird! Didn't you stand up and salute?

We only have one around that I've seen. We have lots of owls: Great Horn, Barn, and the most annoying owl the Screech Owl. Red Tail Hawks are on the other side of our property.

Are you far enough north to get Snowy Owls?
