At Lake Somerville. Went this morning and this is probably the best shot I'm going to get but it's a pretty heavy crop. Will be going back in hopes of having them fly close. I saw what I believe were 3 different birds. https://www.flickr.com/photos/25797101@N04/

I thought I saw him perching on my chimney early afternoon only to realize it was a Buzzard looking down upon the ass end of a dead pig my Heathen dogs drug up from the river!

I think that's a great shot!

Would have been top notch if it would have had a clear sky background.

There are several over on Gibbons Creek as well. Quite a few numbers down here in Texas. Conroe has several on the north end. Lake Livingston and Sam Rayburn have quite a few as well. Just so good to see this proud beautiful symbol of our country doing so well in this area.

They sound like a jet as they fly over you, I see them pretty regular out there.

I went out to Gibbons Creek a couple of weeks ago and caught one of the eagles ascending from the timber NE of the boat ramp. It got high quickly and left the area. Didn't get any shots of it.

It is nice to see them flourishing in Texas.

Add Reveille, the 'Murican flag, and Ronald Reagan, and you've got yourself something frame worthy.

I was out at Somerville 2 weeks ago and got really close to one. It was sitting in a big oak tree with a fish.

Lost to me with my long lens ad. ;-)

Had a friend got a pic of a pair in a tree yesterday out out Somerville. Offered to take me in his boat to get closer but was not able to go. Going back next week and hoping to get closer.

Someone needs to photoshop and American flag in the background and lasers coming from its eyes for that true patriotic Merican vibe!

I saw one last weekend at Lake Houston just east of Humble.

Neat to see them down here and doing well.

What is the penalty for killing a bald eagle? I could see a East Montgomery County redneck doing something stupid like that.

By the way, awesome photo!

Simply having eagle feathers or parts in your possession will land you in prison with a heavy fine to pay. Felony killing of eagles comes with a fine of $250,000 and prison time. These penalties fall under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act.

quote:
The criminal penalty stipulation was increased from a maximum fine of $500 and six months imprisonment to a maximum fine of $5,000 and one year's imprisonment. Furthermore, in the second case of second conviction, the penalty was increased to $10,000 fine and two years imprisonment. The maximum amount of a misdemeanor offense was increased $100,000 under the Criminal Fines and Improvement Act of 1987. In addition, $250,000 will be fined for an individual for a felony conviction. Respectively, $200,000 and $500,000 will be fined in case of an organization for a misdemeanor and felony conviction.

Shhheettttt. I figured a fine and some prison time, but hell, you are better off killing another human being!
