Bald Eagle at Greenway

by David Connor
(London, Ontario, Canada)

Bald Eagle - London, Ontario

Bald Eagle - London, Ontario

I have observed Bald Eagles in London, Ontario, and also near Port Burwell, close to Lake Erie, however, the use of the pesticide DDT and pollution by PCB's led to the near-extinction of these beautiful birds of prey, and in 1980 there were almost no chicks surviving in few remaining active nests along the Lake Erie shore in Southern Ontario.

Since then, thanks to protection and active conservation, the populations have started to increase, and more and more young Eaglets are surviving to continue to spread and successfully breed.

These birds were declared a Provincially Endangered Species in Ontario in 1973, and are still not common in this area.

The information below was submitted by one of our readers - Thanks David!


Bald Eagles at Greenway Pollution Plant - London Ontario

There were two Eagles there when I was taking these photographs, which were taken with a Canon 300D with a 70-200L lens. I think I'm gonna have to get a bigger lens!

Nevertheless, here are the pictures of one of these awesome birds. I plan on going out again to photograph, hopefully closer, these majestic Eagles.

by: John Rubini

Our reader John reports - I have had two Bald Eagle sightings recently. On December 1, 2009 a Bald Eagle flew over head at Pond mills and Pond View roads in London, Ontario. The most recent sighting was January 30, in Lambeth, Ontario, when one was seen flying South over the Copps Buildall store at 2:00 pm.

by: Anonymous

I go to the dog park at Greenway every day and saw the eagle in a tree over the river one day when someone was taking pictures. Since then I have watched with binoculars one of them soaring over the river, it seemed to have a mottled look under the wings and the head was not white, must have be a young female?

Thanks for your comment - I wonder if this could have been the bird I observed last week on the bank of the Thames?

I really like your picture of the Eagle - I didn't know there were Bald Eagles around London!
