We had just moved into an abandoned property in central Oklahoma by Lake Thunderbird in November 2003. We were in a drought that year and early in the spring I saw a big beautiful bald eagle carrying off a snake that was about 3 ft long at least 2 inch in diameter. It was an awesome sight that I haven't seen since.

My family and I saw a Bald Eagle East of Kaw City Oklahoma on 1/13/08. The Bird was seen from the Sarge Creek Cove recreation area at Kaw lake and just across the cove from the boating ramp in a more heavily wooded area. We had never seen a Bald Eagle in the wild; it was very exciting.

12-29-05 to 1-1-06 I was with my husband and in-laws camping at the Illinois River Ranch near Tahlequah, OK. We were walking along the river's cliffs and gravel bars and spotted a Bald Eagle perched in a tree, and just down the river flying was the other Eagle. My husband, his cousin and I had spotted this same pair about 5 years ago in the same section of the river. We know there is at least 1-2 more in the same area, they were flying above a pasture nearby after we had just left the river.

I was greeted this morning at 7:30 a.m. on 11/9/05 by a majestic site. I walked out on the back porch of my cabin in the Kiamichi foothills near Broken Bow Oklahoma and sitting atop a dead tree, not 50 yards away, was a beautiful American Bald Eagle. I immediately tip-toed back inside for my camera. He sat atop the tree and posed for 3 great pictures, then flew to the edge of my pasture to a 40 ft. pine tree, about 100 yards away. He stayed with me until around 9:30 a.m. It is now 5:15 p.m. and he just flew by my window as I am writing this comment. WHAT A WONDERFUL SITE!!! Maybe we will meet again in the morning.

I live in Checotah, Oklahoma, and just saw my first Bald Eagle today, 8-21-2005. I walked outside just in time to witness this beautiful eagle riding a thermal off of a hill just behind my house. I was able to tell my wife to grab the video camera to film about 3 minutes of flight. I can't wait to see another one!You just don't realize the size and true beauty of them until you see one in real life. Courtesy of Jeremy Lynn
Feb. 24, 2005, while driving north on HWY 177, just south of the South
Canadian River, my daughter and myself saw a Bald Eagle in Flight. It was
in McClain County, just before crossing the river into Asher, Oklahoma. Courtesy of Corinna Blackwood
My name is Stacee Capps and I'm from Colcord Oklahoma we live in the country here and we have a field of about 10 acres out our back door and we have at least 7 to 10 bald eagles that are around our house they fly over our house and land in our trees. They are just thrilling to watch, I have never seen one so close or as many as this so close to me. I'm 30 and have lived in ok all my life and this is the first time i ever recall seeing more than one matter of fact i have only seen one before in my life. I hope that every one has a chance in there life to see a eagle as close as i have and i sure hope they come back here every year. Courtesy of The Capps family

I just had a wonderful Christmas gift this morning! We live on Lake Eufaula in Eastern Oklahoma & while my better half was sitting at the table looking out at the lake a huge bird flew by along the water's edge. He noticed how white the white was on the bird & he thought it was an eagle but wasn't sure. At this point he yelled at me to come look at the eagle. I was still in bed so I got dressed & rushed to see, since I've never seen one in person before. He had the binoculars & was looking at it perched in a tree. He handed them over & I looked............I couldn't believe it....he was beautiful!! The white feathers were so bright! He stayed there awhile in the tree & then he started stretching his wings & then flew on down the bank to another tree. I didn't know they were here this time of year. I knew they had been seen at Fort Gibson Lake just north of here, but usually in the fall. What a special Christmas morning!
