    Heard of them being around Ivie in the winter but, never had the privilege of see them around here in person. I did see a pair on T Bend while visiting Cork Puller.

    We did too in the spring at T bend. Two years ago I was was going out to the shop and a Bald Eagle was on the telephone pole next to the house. It looked to be atleast 3ft tall, he didn't stay very long and hauled ass. I didn't realize how big they are until I saw this one upclose. It was December when it was here, don't know why we don't see one different times of the year.

    They have become pretty abundant here at T Bend.

    Several times I’ve seen them circle, swoop and snag a fish. Awesome sight.

    Nice pics. The first shot is very cool. I see a lot in east Texas. Never have seen one on Ivie, or anywhere else in west Texas.

    Awesome!! I've seen them on T Bend, Rayburn and Fork, but never in this part of the state. Like Troy, I usually just stop and watch.

    We see them in Florida pretty frequently and every time I just watch them. They’re beautiful birds and the sounds they make are pretty cool!

    They like very tall trees. I think that’s why they are so abundant on Toledo.
