The bald eagle is found in a variety of habitats from rugged forests to freshwater lakes and rivers. It can even be seen in the hot deserts of the Baja peninsula in northern Mexico. I have two eagles that reside in my neighborhood and they are quite the attraction. High in the tree tops is where this bird likes to sit, giving it a perfect lookout for prey. Although their main food source is fish, inland-nesting eagles can inhabitat areas far from water.
Courtship is funny with animals.
It is an elaborate aerial display that begins with both birds flying in circles, the male above the female. Suddenly, the male swoops down toward his mate. Moments before contact, she turns upside down and thrusts her feet upward. With talons locked together, the two birds tumble toward the ground. Their bond confirmed or renewed, they then temporarily fly off in different directions.
