Something you don't see in the city

Something you'll never see living in the city.
I discovered that we have a Golden Eagle living in a upper part of a tree in the back. Large stick nest in the fir tree. The crows were going crazy the other day so I got the binoculars out to see what was going on, what a surprise. That bird is huge and when he flew out he made the crows that tried to chase him look tiny. He had taken a baby crow into his nest and the crows were trying to dive bomb it in the tree attempting to get it back I suppose. He got one crow that came to close by the tail feathers and black feathers were every where. What an assume sight. Here is a picture of what it looks like.
I would love to zoom in on it when in the tree and get a picture. Wingspan is somewhere between 6 and 7 1/2 feet. What a beautiful bird and no them squawking crows didn't bother him much at all.
Here is a pic of what the bird looks like. Gonna have to keep the cats in the house now.

wow, that is awsome!! birds of prey are great to watch!!!!! i hope you do get some good pics of it.......ya may have two of them......a nest and all......

man that's cool to see in flight ,& don't they come in pears ?

That is entirely possible. We are also very close within a 1/4 mile from the Clackamas river where there is a a lot of steel head and salmon fishing. I see a lot of Osprey birds along the river just never seen a Golden Eagle this close up.
The weather is good today, up to 80 today so a few of us are going to ride to Cannon Beach at the Oregon coast.
Here is the pic of the Clackamas river by our place. Great fishing Chuck.

great pics!!!!!!!!!! have fun and stay safe! would love to put a fly in that water!!!!

That's a good looking place on the river ,it's been a lot of years since i've done any fishing , (don't care for the salt water fish) but would like to try fly fishing there

Been there done it many times and here is one of the best fly fishing rivers in Oregon, called the Metolius River. Head waters bubble right up out of the ground from a underground stream. Big fish are caught in this stream.

Here is a couple pics from todays ride to the coast. Cannon Beach with Hay Stack Rock in the back ground, hey notice the kits, lots of wind and the temp was only about 65 at the coast.
Chuck we had lunch a Mo's famous claim chowder, think you would like it.

yup, i love clam chowder!!!!!!!! mmmmmmmmm maybe chrome and i can get to your coast some day!!!

great pics!!!! it looks a bit cooler than here also....nearly 100 today........

Come up and spend a couple weeks I'll be your personal tour guild.

Its always a bit cooler on the coast, cool pacific ocean air.
