I'm delighted to report my first bald eagle sighting in Eastern North America! On January 1, 2012, I sighted a bald eagle perched on a tree near Lac Sainte Marie, Quebec. What a magnificent bird!

My brother and I saw a bald eagle on December 10, 2011 near Bell Falls, QC, which is on the Rouge River in Argenteuil county. We were walking on the road after a fresh snowfall and just happened to look up to see him soaring overhead. Amazing.
Your site is very informative - we have seen bald eagles often near the ocean in Maine, but I had no idea that they could be spotted in this area.

I work in Contrecoeur Quebec which is southeast of Montreal along the St.
Lawrence river. I have sighted an american bald eagle on three seperate
occasions within the last three months or so. Twice it was near the river
but did not appear to be seeking fish - the other time it was over a nearby
field.
I originally did not believe my eyes since I was not aware that eagles
could be found in this area however today's sighting left me no choice but
to believe my eyes and it led me to your website after a search of the
internet. Nice site.

I live in Hudson on Lake of two mountains we just watched a full size bald eagle about 75 feet from us hanging around the shore of the lake and landing on the frozen edge of the shore and flying around for about 20 mins. Quite the site, hopefully he will be back.

My mother and I spotted a bald eagle in full flight on highway 329 near Lachute, Quebec. He looked like just left the perch of a tree near a small river. We've both seen bald eagles before but neither of us has seen one this close in the wild. An incredible sight (11am, January 20, 2010)!!

At the beginning of Nov 2008 a juvenile bald eagle was in full view. He
turned - stretched his big wings. This was near Pinnacle Mountain close to
Sutton and the Richford, Vermont border.
Also in the Missisquoi Valley of Glen Sutton, Quebec winter 2008 a
neighbor was able to take a photo of 2 mature Bald Eagles on the Mississquoi
River. This small village is close to East Richford, Vermont.

In the last 3 years, Bald Eagles are often spotted near the Gatineau River. Strong rapids upstream help keep open water year-round even in the worst of winter.
I spotted again a Bald Eagle this morning, soring above the river near the Lac Leamy Casino (15 feb. 2007). In the winter 2006, I spotted a juvenile and a mature Bald eagle eating a fish on the frozen surface of the river.

I live north of the Outaouais region a forest environment. I have notice these past few weeks a huge bald eagle in our area, which is a never seen for this area at this time of the year. As an faithful admirer of this bird, I am left puzzles and worried this situation. Is there anyone we can contact to inform them of this.

Just to let you know that I have sighted a bald eagle around the area where I live. I'm in the Outaouais region of the Province of Quebec, in Canada (south of the province). It was in one of our provincial park, the Plaisance Provincial Park to be more precise. Courtesy of Francine Milette
I live along the Ottawa River in a little town called Bristol. I thought I spotted a bald eagle last summer, at very high altitude, and then yesterday January 4, along the road, in a tree about 30 feet high, sat a lone eagle - I was going to honk the horn to see him fly, but didn't and according to your information that was a good thing.

I live in Wakefield, Quebec, which is a half hour north of Ottawa, Ontario, and as I was driving to work this morning, I spotted a large animal carcass in a farmer's field. Perched on top of the carcass was the most beautiful site…an American Bald Eagle. I turned around to get my digital camera from home, but, in the 5 minutes I was gone, it had flown away. Hope to see him/her again. Courtesy of Kilby L. Patterson |
