Of the birds on the outer branches, one bird was copied and pasted 8 times, some of them in reverse, but that's okay. There are American Eagles and the do sit on branches. It's all good.

Eagles weigh anywhere from 8 to 18 pounds. Sometimes more. These do not appear to weigh down the branches of the tree.

Just sayin'.

@just bee

Many eagles perch on a tree in areas where there are a lot of them. They are social birds, hanging around with others, when they are not taking care of their babies.

This photo was taken in Alaska.

Washington State.

Here's another photo taken in Alaska.

I had the same thought. That could be a modified picture, however I don't think eagles are very heavy. I hope it's a real photo.

Yes.

I have no doubt birds sit in trees. It's just that this particular photo looks Photoshopped.

@Foxxee Now this one looks real. The other one may be also, I was just asking because something about it looked photoshopped to me. As someone pointed out, there seemed to be many eagles in the same position, and reversed in that position.

I think some of the eagles were copied and pasted onto the tree to make them look like evenly distributed ornaments, but I do think there were eagles on this tree, just not as many.
