We live in Sunset lakes (Miramar, FL 33029) in the subdivision of Majestic Falls, and have had the pleasure of witnessing frequent visits from a bald eagle from our home.

The eagle perches on the highest peak of the lighthouse in the man-made island in the lake in our backyard. We often see the eagle sit there for many hours a day, often in the morning lately, but some afternoons too. We have seen it successfully hunt a bird that attempted to dive under water, but to no avail. It brought the bird up to the top of the lighthouse and began to feed. At that moment, there was a mad circling of birds directly above the lighthouse in apparent commotion and questionable panic.

Here is the location of the lighthouse

The most recent spotting was today in the late afternoon while our family and some friends were in the pool.

We consider it an honor to be able to observe this guy (girl?), but also speculate about his observation of us...  ;-)

This is a recent video of the eagle. (Please see link.)

Anyone know if this is the male or female?
