A CONSERVATIONIST DREAM COME TRUE...




Feeding Our Eagles

Comox, B.C., Vancouver Island


In January the weather got so cold that the bald eagles were cruising over our houses looking for helpless cats to make a quick meal. Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles down at Goose Spit so they would survive the cold spell. Here's what happened...

A former teaching colleague took these photos in front of his home... they are incredible!

A beautiful morning feeding the eagles.


No zoom lens used here! I was this close!

Here are the men who were feeding them, pretty amazing to get this close! It was not too long ago, that the American Bald Eagle was an endangered species... !

I wish I could take credit for these photos, only the black eagle and eagle-on-a-rock-in-the-water are mine!  I don't know who the photographer was but a heartfelt thanks for sharing them with the world...
