Woodchip is quite the photographer. Here's a photo from his camp of the mountain.

Would this picture be Chesuncook?? I have a cool picture with an identical background

A set-up with a GoPro and a fish might get you close enough to read the bands. Could be dangerous for the camera though. Similar to a trail camera over bear bait.

Awesome Eagle pics. I caught a salmon a few years ago that was scared up. I thought it was from a prop but it had markings on borh sides.Think it was from an eagle but the salmon got away.

I released a Trout in Churchill lake years ago and it was 50' behind he boat while trolling and an Eagle picked it off some slick. All those 23 to 33 inch Togue in Sebago will be easy prey for the eagle this summer.

Not sure an eagle could fly with more than a 5#er. Tried to resuscitate an 8#er trolling lake x one summer and after15 minutes plus gave up. Big Eagle was on it right after it went belly up. It couldnt lift it but swooped away til it drifted to shore at least an hour later. Tried to get my dB back but ran into shallows.

I have had 8+ lb trout in my farm pond and Ospreys will lug them off .An Eagle is bigger ,I think an eagle could carry off a 10lb fish with ease.

Ospreys are Osome Chip.

Here's one for you Woodchip.

Is this how they catch fish to feed the crews on big ships?

44 Degrees North · « **Reply #46 on:** Apr 12, 2015, 05:11 PM »

The photo had no info with it but I would guess it was up in Alaska. Probably a ship like MGK was on this past summer.

Wow, lined up like seagulls.

This eagle was banded in Maine silver band, The red band means he was banded in New York, Joefishmore fed this bird on Big Sebago a couple of days ago .No one fed him on Sebago so he came over for some W.Perch probably 10 miles as the Crow flies. I have had contact with this bird now for 3 years. He ate one 12" fish and two 8" perch before he left. Its days like these that making sitting over a jig stick special. Thanks Guys for sharing with all.

I haven't posted in a while but the guy I share my office with just mentioned seeing a post on an ice fishing site about a banded eagle. Most people on here don't know that I'm a wildlife biologist for a small nonprofit. We band most of the eagles in the state so I have some info on this one. It was banded as a chick at treasure island on Square Pond in Shapleigh June 2, 2006 it was the only chick in the nest that year. at the time of banding it was 6 weeks old. we believe it to be nesting on/near Little Sebago but the nest site has yet to be found. Great pictures! if you have more I would love to see them. Were the pictures taken on Little Sebago?

I have been in contact with this bird on Little Sebago upper lake. I see him soaring between Little Sebago and the town of Dry mills often. Over the Game preserve area.

If that eagle was nesting could we expect that it would have carried a fish off to the nest instead of eating it there on the ice ?

Seamonkey84 · « **Reply #54 on:** Feb 08, 2016, 10:47 PM »

Maybe we should just bump this. I haven't had a close fly by yet this year though I left them some treats.
