For a lucky few, this was a day for whale-watching. But for many more, it was a great day for eagle-watching. Above, the closeup is courtesy of Robin Lindsey, who notes, “This eagle perched on a light pole was literally stopping traffic this afternoon along Constellation Park as people were excitedly taking cell phone photos, No doubt this mature eagle was probably thinking people are crazy.” The juveniles drew attention, too:

Trileigh Tucker shared that photo and the next one, observing that love is in the air, and not just for people: “For the past few days, there’s been lots of eagle activity, and lots of eagles, in Lincoln Park. I’m attaching a couple of photos of a juvenile bald eagle (I’m guessing it’s a first-year bird, born last spring) from today. In addition, there’s been lots of courtship behavior between two adults, including chasing each other, aerial interactions, and much chattering back and forth. Just in time for Valentine’s Day! I hope everyone keeps their eyes out to appreciate nature’s romance…as well as our own!”

And an eagle couple was caught on camera too, by Steve Edington, who says, “I was in Lincoln Park about 9:30 this morning and saw a bald eagle catch a salmon. It flew into its ‘usual’ tree, along with its mate, and proceeded to devour the fish.”

Thanks to everyone who shared their sightings!
