This post on white tailed eagles is by Ian Robins (website | Facebook | 500px, see also his previous guest post on living in the Arctic):

Well I saw that as a challenge. Some people ARE lucky enough to live in exotic places. My back garden is this. I run this as a holiday resort. So I suppose everyone can have it as there back garden at least for a short while. We have moose, otter, mink, and most of all white tailed eagle in our garden. What I would actually like to do is explain a little about my house pets. There will no doubt be a few facts some people will not agree with but I am no expert and do not pretend to be. I just like taking pictures of them. Around here they nest around March and April depending on the weather. Once hatched after 38 days in the egg they are fully feathered after 3-4 weeks. These pictures were taken only 20 days apart. They are adult after 4-5 years. That is when the tail is completely white.  They pair for life which can be as long as 25 years.
