I saw a bald eagle this morning soaring over the Turner reservoir on 152 at the East Providence/Pawtucket/Attleboro border.

We've had a beautiful bald eagle flying over Lake Tiogue/Rt. 3 Coventry for the last week. It circles for about 10 min. and then leaves. Quite a sight to see!

Spotted a bald eagle on frozen Oak Swamp Reservoir in Johnston RI, January 23, 2012. He was there for 3 hours before we had to leave. He appeared to have some prey. He also moved to a spot that could have been a warm spring, and drank. Usually there are lots of seagulls on the lake but not today!

Spotted a Bald Eagle today in a tree on Potowomut Road in Warwick. It appeared to be with an off spring that was all brown and roughly the same size. What a sight. It flew off over the river when I tried to get a picture. 1/21/2012

My wife and I saw a large eagle trying to feed on a raccoon carcass right on the southbound side of rte 295 south of the route 7 exit. At first we thought it was a turkey vulture but as we got closer saw that it was an eagle. It was nearly hit by a car as it flew away. Has anyone else seen one in this area?

I spotted a Bald Eagle this morning. It landed in a tree on my property on Apponaug Cove in Warwick -- December 4, 2011.

I just saw a juvenile fly overhead in West Warwick. The few geese that were on land made a mad dash for the Pawtuxet - they don't react that way when Red Tailed Hawks are in the area. What a magnificent creature!

We have a Bald Eagle that comes and sits in a tree next to our driveway every year. She usually comes around the middle to end of April. She seems to be resting because she stays for an hour, sometimes two. I have taken pictures. It is quite a thrill to have her stop by and visit. She watches us watch her.

I have a photo of a pair of bald eagles spotted, potentially nesting, in Brickyard Pond, Barrington. The photo was taken in Spring 2011 by Jamie Schwartz, who lives along the pond.

We saw two juvenile bald eagles over Meadow Creek in Foster yesterday. A red hawk flew in as they were perching in a tree, causing them to fly away, and we saw how massive they were compared to the hawk. No white markings yet, except some white reflected under the wings. They were beautiful!

I saw a Bald Eagle yesterday flying over head in Coventry....AMAZING!!!

I saw a Bald Eagle flying overhead while walking on Willis Drive off of Mendon Road in Cumberland this morning. From a distance I thought it was a hawk but as I got closer I realized it was a Bald Eagle. It had the all white head and tail. I was very surprised to see one in Cumberland! Very cool.

I spotted one on potters pond early this morning. The ducks were quite alarmed by the presence of this amazing sighting.

Last week I was stopped on 117 in Warwick (right next to the bagel factory) and spotted two adult bald eagles. One looked like it was chasing a crow. This is the first time I've seen them in RI and was really excited, which led me here! It's great to know that there are more around and now I know to keep my eyes peeled. Thanks for the site!

June 27, 2010 a bald eagle roosted in my tall pine tree for the better part of an hour on Sunday afternoon in Lincoln, RI. It was quite the Sunday visitor!
Guest 28-Feb-2010 13:04
I was driving down Rt.108 coming from URI area heading to PeaceDale Feb. 25 around 4pm traffic slowed ahead of me and as I looked up I realized why... It was Bald Eagle first one I've ever seen. I was following a friend ahead of me and quickly called him. He was stunned as well... Beautiful

David,
Thank you very much for the comment. I agree, there must be some other nesting pairs in RI by now.

Thank you for sharing these great photos. They truly are beautiful. I also wanted to comment on the status of the eagle population in the state of Rhode Island. I have reason to believe the eagle population is spreading across this little state faster than we realize. I have been an outdoorsman all my life and very much love nature and all it's beauty. For the past six years or so while ice fishing for Northern Pike on Johnson's pond in Coventry. I have encountered numerous bald eagles passing overhead. From full grown adults to juveniles. I have seen pairs, single birds and even witnessed three birds in one afternoon. All of which were adults. A friend of mine and I were even lucky enough to witness a fully mature bald eagle swooping down on a partially frozen river way in an attempt at hunting mallard ducks. Every time the bald eagle would swoop down, the ducks would just dive under the water. After the third attempt the eagle finally gave up and flew away. It was an experience that will stay with me for life.
Just the other day we saw two mature birds fly over while we were ice fishing, and two days before that we saw one single juvenile bird. All together in the past five years I have personally witnessed somewhere around forty to fifty sightings. And although I do realize that Johnson's Pond is incredibly close to the Scituate Reservoir. And I'm sure many of my sightings are of the known nesting pair of Scituate just passing by. But I strongly feel that there may be other eagles nesting nearby to Johnson's Pond. One pond in particular that I feel eagles could be nesting is Stump Pond also in Coventry. It's swampy, shallow, very secluded and has a good population of ducks, fish and other wildlife that could sustain a nesting pair of eagles. I have yet to pack my lunch, strap on my camera gear and explore this hunch of mine. But I will soon, very soon. Wouldn't it be wonderful to find another pair of these majestic birds taking up residents in this great little state? I'm excited at the possibility and know inside that if given the chance nature will prevail. I'll come back and post my findings as soon as I'm done investigating my hunch.
Also I wanted to thank Joseph Zbyrowski for all the efforts he put forth in restoring and maintaining this states bird and wildlife populations. Without guys Like Joe we wouldn't be fortunate enough to have this opportunity to experience nature at it's very best. Thank you Mr. Z.

Stunning Photos. Thank you for sharing and posting .

Karen, The adult bald eagle at the Diamond Hill Reservoir has been wintering there for several years, and the large brown bird you saw is a juvenile Bald Eagle. There are actually two juveniles at the reservoir, yesterday was the first day that I have seen them there.

Hi... Where were these eagles nesting? My family and I were driving past the reservior in Cumberland yesterday and spotted 2 large birds perched in a tree--one of which looked distinctly like a bald eagle. The other could have been a hawk but did not have the coloring common to hawks we have usually seen. We don't know much about birds but thought it would be interesting to see if this could have been an eagle (or a pair!). Thanks!
