Cindy & I spot bald eagles here all the time, driving the backroads from home to Albany, a nearby largish town. The Willamette Valley of Oregon grows grass seed well. In the early spring, sheep are turned out on the fields. Their grazing divides the grass stalks, making for more seed harvested in the fall. The bald eagles LOVE rack of newborn lamb and also feed on the afterbirth. To spot them, just look in the limbs of trees bordering a field full of sheep. It's not unusual at all for us to spot 5-6 of them on a 6 mile drive. The sheep men here view the Bald Eagle as kind of a winged Coyote...but they can shoot coyotes.
