Under five year old Bald Eagle in B.C Canada

I took these pictures of the under five-year old Bald Eagle in B.C Canada. It was sitting on an electricity pole near the sea. Usually It is found near large bodies of open water with an abundant food supply and old-growth trees for nesting, this time also…

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 4 meters (13 ft) deep, 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) wide, and one metric ton (1.1 tons) in weight. Sexual maturity is attained at the age of four to five years.

Forest

Finland is Europe’s most heavily-forested country. Forests cover 23 million hectares or 74.2% of the land area.

There are about twenty indigenous tree species growing in Finland, the most common ones being pine (Pinus silvestris), spruce (Picea abies) and birch (Betula pendula and B. pubescens). Usually two or three tree species dominate a forest. Naturally pure pine stands are found in rocky terrain, on top of arid eskers and on pine swamps. Natural spruce stands are found on richer soil. Birch is commonly found as an admixture, but it can occasionally form pure birch stands

About half of the forest land area consists of mixed stands. Rarer species are found mostly as solitary trees. The south-western corner and the south coast of Finland are touched by a narrow zone growing oak, maple, ash and elm.

Hiking in Porkkalanniemi

I’m participating in LetsBeWild.com’s Wild Weekly Photo Challenge. This week’s Challenge is: Hiking!

The area is characterized by the best of its rugged cliffs, at Telegrafberg , high on the hill is the best place to overlook the panoramic view of the open sea.In the rugged cliff forest there are five Bronze Age burial place (heaps). The cliffs are slippery and hazardous particularly autumn when it rains, it should be taken into account in moving in the area. In the summer it is a beautiful place to spend the day.
