Bald Eagle at Lake Martin DSC_7480: March 1, 2008. I went out to Lake Martin this morning at sunrise to go kayaking. There were a lot of fishing boats out. I paddled around the south end looking for birds. As the sun came up in the southeast, I saw some egrets and a blue heron feeding on the western shoreline, so I headed there. A large hawk scattered the birds before I got there. Then, I heard another hawk screeching to the north along the western shoreline. I headed that way to see it. Suddenly, I saw a bald eagle circling in the area of the hawk. It was about 7:08 am. I was so excited I almost forgot to take a photo... The eagle had it's talons out like it was ready for a fight. The bald eagle was obviously after something the hawk had. The eagle circled a few times, then landed in a tree. As I approached at about 200 yards, the eagle got nervous and left, heading due north. I got in position to see the hawk. It was apparently a red-shouldered hawk. I didn't get a good look before it took off with a fish in it's talons. I got a photo of the hawk and the fish. I decided to head back to the boat launch and paddled directly across the lake. I immediately saw another large bird sitting on a post near a duck blind. My binoculars proved it to be an osprey. I paddled pretty close and got a good shot of it before it took off. I think it was just hanging out, waiting for the eagle to leave.
