Bald Eagle sighting in West Lincoln

by Margie Rietveld
(Fonthill, Ontario, Ontario)


We were driving along Regional Road 65 or Silver Road. We thought it was a very large Hawk until we got close and realized it was a Bald Eagle. I pulled over and backed the car up.


To see a sighting like that is unusual, but sure enough that's what it was. A bald eagle in West Lincoln.

How exciting! It's got to be good luck or something!

Yes, Margie, I think it must be good luck to see a Bald Eagle - I have been lucky enough to see several in the wild, but I feel the same each time I see one - I am filled with delight at the sight!

Here is a picture of a Bald Eagle, whichi, I hope, looks like the one you saw.

My wife and I watched a Bald Eagle grab a squirrel off our front lawn yesterday afternoon. We live on King Street by Lincoln Avenue in Beamsville. It soared back and forth over King Street for a few seconds and a few cars actually stopped on King to watch it. It then swooped down and picked up the squirrel off the lawn then flew over our house heading north. An absolute incredible sight to see with its massive wing span.

by: John

Glad to see that someone else saw this Eagle besides me, it was flying over Hilary Bald Park in Beamsville when I saw it and being harassed by a bunch of crows which were trying to chase it off. Then it flew over Bartlett Road still being chased by crows. This was in Tuesday March 4th. Does any expert have any comments about reasons why such a large wild bird is hanging around urban Beamsville, junior bird making it’s own territory/just hungry, looking for any kind of food etc? Anyway it was a delight to see it and hope to see it again.

starstarstarstar 		Bald Eagle Soars over Ontario St.
by: Rodney Dowd

It’s about 1:30 pm on June 29th 2021. My Step dad and I were just coming back from our Sobeys groceries run when I saw a big bird flying high above near the corner of Ontario and King Streets. I thought it was just your standard Turkey vulture because it was so big. Although Turkey Vultures and that big of a bird of prey they do have enormous wings hence my first thought. At second glance I noticed a white head and then white tail feathers. I couldn’t believe my eyes! An actual wild Bald Eagle!! It was flapping away and heading towards Shoppers Drug Mart area.

Very surprised to see a bald eagle in the driveway at work today in Beamsville between Union Rd and the rail tracks. Got between 30' and he gently flew off.

by: April Giangrande - Grimsby

March 3, 2021 - I was driving on Ontario Street in Beamsville, turned left onto King Street and approximately 30 feet above my car 2 bald eagles flew into a tree on the escarpment side of the street. I was shocked and in awe of the beauty. This is my first sighting which enticed me to search the internet in which I landed here. What a unique experience, just wanted to share. 🦅🦅

We have a bald eagle sitting in our bush. Beautiful white head, although he is a little far for my camera.
We are south of Silver Street in West Lincoln.

starstarstarstarstar 		Eagle in West Lincoln?
by: Bonnie Harper

I am almost positive I saw a 3 - 4 year old Eagle in the Caistorville area of West Lincoln ywo days ago. I had just plugged my phone into my car charger due to low battery a few minutes before and was disappointed that I couldn't get a picture of it! It was about 30-40 feet away in the field next to me and I watched it for at least a solid minute before it took flight and flew right over me!

I was taking a break from gardening in my backyard, looking at the Chippewa Creek and I saw a giant bird which I thought it was just another great blue heron but noticed white. I watched it come into view and it was soaring low, down in the creek bank following the creek up stream. That's when I was amazed to realize what I saw was a Bald Eagle. It was about 100' from me and so crystal clear. So I told my husband as he was further down the bank - look it's a bald eagle! He turned around and saw a full view close up. Thank goodness he was there to have shared that view. Most amazing sight to have seen. I could see his intense stare and details as he was that close!
