Thank you for the information on your website as it's provided some great information. Currently we have 7 of them living in our area and have spotted them all lately feeding on a deer carcass in our neighbor's field. They are the most gorgeous birds I've ever seen and to have that honor to see them in their natural habitat is something my family will never forget! How many kids can say they see them like that?

Update: There are 5 adults and 2 eaglets. 1/22/08 I spotted one of the eaglets feeding on the carcass again. As I pulled up to get my mail, it got spooked and flew off so I watched where he flew to. Into my front yard there are some trees. He flew into one of the trees there and there was an adult eagle. I’m going to assume that it might have been it’s parent. I have an old SLR that I carry with me since spotting these lovely majestic birds and hopefully got off some shots before they flew off since I was coming down the driveway!

I live on Red Mill Pond in Milton, Delaware. I have spotted Bald Eagles several times over the past few years in my backyard which backs up to Red Mill Pond.
1/21/08 around 4:30 PM spotted a Juvenile. It remained on a tree in my yard for almost 45 minutes until a heron flew past the tree it was perching on. It attacked the heron, which immediately flew off.
1/22/08 9:00 ish in the AM. Spotted two adult bald eagles in my yard.

1/6/08 Bald eagle seen in Newark, Delaware at the reservoir off of Paper Mill Road. It was perched in a tree and once we realized what we were seeing and pulled out our camera it flew away. Really cool to see.

Just saw a mature Bald Eagle in a field off of route 41 just past the intersect with route 141 outside of Wilmington, DE. He was feeding on something in the middle of the field. Able to snap a few photos with a disposable camera before another car pulled up and spooked him. Good to see Eagles in the Wilmington area!

Wilmington Delaware, 9:15 am October 28th 2007.
Sighted a Bald Eagle riding the thermal updrafts off the Delaware River, along Penny Hill- Gordon Heights area of Wilmington, just above the Marcus Hook Rear Range Lighthouse. It made three circular passes over the hill and continued on southward in a sweeping ascent. Many birds of prey are observed in this area which overlooks the Delaware River, and I have often observed them taking prey in the backyards, but this is the first observation I've made of a Bald Eagle over the 12+ years we've lived here.

    My co-workers and I saw two Eagles I think male and female doing some ritual in the air, flips and dives, lots of calling in Middletown, Delaware two weeks ago while we were putting up a building. Unbelievable right, but honestly. I saw one myself in Newport, Delaware in the marsh off I-95 and another outside Bear, Delaware on route 896/301. The two in Middletown may by easily seen again right off 301 and 299 intersection.

I could observe a couple of bald eagles at sunset lake (close to the old DuPond Glasgow plant). It was the second sighting within only a couple of days. Very impressive birds indeed.

Today, 12/19/2005, at around 3:00 PM I saw a bald eagle rise from Red Mill Pond (about 5 miles west of Lewes, Delaware and Cape Henlopen State Park at the mouth of Delaware Bay.) It seemed to me that the bird was carrying prey just captured. Red Mill Pond is perhaps one mile in length and is mostly built up with homes varying from modest to extravagant; my partner and I were walking in a residential neighborhood and the eagle was first sighted at a distance of about two hundred yards.

This afternoon, Firday, March 12, 2004, My husband and I spotted a Juvenile Bald Eagle in the field behind our back yard. It was browh and white and had a curved black beak. We have never before seen an Eagle this close to our home. We were within 75 yards of the bird and confirmed it by the use of a monocular and set of binoculars.
I then went to the Bald Eagle website and confirmed it with photos of Bald Eagles taken in Alaska. We are located on the north side of County Road 302 approximately half way between Rte. 5 and County Road 302 in rural Millsboro, DE  19966. We were truly amazed at the immense size of the bird. It was feasting at the time of the sighting. This was quite an exciting find! It is a shame that they are soon going to build 455 new homes on the adjacent property. We may never see this bird again. Courtesy of Michelle Louis R. Lampkin, Jr

I was walking with my two children along the Delaware Raritan Canal State Park in Princeton, New Jersey. Where the canal passes the dam that supports Carnegie lake. On a small island, in the river on the down-side of the dam, was a tall but dying tree, with most of the limbs gone. There atop that tree, in perfect view, was a pair of bald eagles.  
At first I thought surely they must be some other bird. I grew up in Princeton, and had never heard of bald eagles sited. But after a while one of the birds spotted something in lake - a fish, a duck? - spread its wings and launched in a beautiful, graceful glide towards its target. A small crowd of 12 or so park visitors eventually accumulated at the edge of the dam to see the eagles.  
It was a wonderful gift on New Year's day!
