While Bald Eagles do nest in Texas along various rivers, I was surprised to find an adult perched on a utility pole just outside of Gonzales, Texas today. The Guadalupe River is nearby so perhaps this bird had had a nest there earlier in the season. When I stopped to take some shots, the eagle flew a few hundred yards farther away and landed on another pole at a poor light angle for photos. A Scissor-tailed Flycatcher started dive-bombing the eagle. The eagle took off followed by the Scissor-tailed FC until they were out of sight. I'm posting the eagle and the scissor-tailed separately, but will use this same text.
