Bald Eagle - South Delta

            South Delta, BC Canada

There are hundreds of Bald Eagles to be seen nearby the North 40 Park Reserve and an Organic Compost Facility in Delta, BC

Hundreds of birds have congregated here on the nearby farmer's fields, where the large composting facility has provided food, like scraps of meat, throughout our recent cold spell.

The birds are expected to stay until the middle of March. 

BALD EAGLE

The bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus) is a bird of prey found in North America. A sea eagle, it has two known subspecies and forms a species pair with the white-tailed eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla). Its range includes most of Canada and Alaska, all of the contiguous United States, and northern Mexico. It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting.

The bald eagle is an opportunistic feeder which subsists mainly on fish, which it swoops down and snatches from the water with its talons. It builds the largest nest of any North American bird and the largest tree nests ever recorded for any animal species, up to 13 ft deep, 8.2 ft wide, and1.1 short tons in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years. Wikipedia
