Corey’s Best Bird of the Weekend was a Bald Eagle that he watched (and photographed) hunting and eating a Blue-winged Teal at Viera Wetlands. Sure, Corey saw rarer birds, more colorful birds, and birds that he wanted to see more than a Bald Eagle but the experience of watching such a show was amazing.

Americans of a certain age will recall how close their country came to losing the Bald Eagle.). The sighting suggests that for all its struggles with habitat loss and hunting, the species is still managing to reproduce. But that tragedy is compounded when the species at risk is a country’s national bird.

There was also a group of Bald Eagles ( Haliaeetus leucocephalus ) soaring nearby, including this juvenile, who seemed to be enjoying aerial maneuvers with its sibling. My eye followed this young eagle as it circled its way to the ground, just over a small rise and out of sight. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFKUm5lPpM

I could hardly contain my excitement as I gazed at a Great Gray Owl and watched it hunt through someone else’s scope. It was the Snowy Owl, taking no chances while an immature Bald Eagle was passing by. On the third day, we finally connected with the species I wanted to see the most and just could not miss.

I reveled in the multiplicity of Rock Pigeon plumages, watched the Ring-billed Gulls slice the air over a Mets game, and as I headed for the Olde Homestead, I was delighted to note how many Bald Eagles are now happily hunting along the over-civilized Hudson.

Not only were they a common bird, they were a common bird nearshore; indigenous peoples hunted them up and down the coast. Raptors and other predatory birds have largely rebounded, and there seems to be be no shortage of Brown Pelicans, Peregrine Falcons and Bald Eagles. That would have been awful.
