The majestic American Bald Eagle leaves its perch here in The Villages in search of dinner yesterday!

This wig should scare the poop out of the squirrels.

Key Behaviors When Leaving a Perch

• Hunting and Scavenging: Eagles spend hours sitting high in tall trees or near open water to spot fish—which make up over half of their diet—or watch for waterfowl and carrion.
• Energy Conservation: Perching is an energy-saving strategy for raptors before launching into active flight or pursuit.
• Territorial Vigilance: A high vantage point lets them guard nesting sites or defend food sources from other birds.
