Two truly beautiful birds
These photos were taken on Lakelse Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C., by the Water Lily Bay Resort.
Eagles are very common in this area. They also feed the swans on the lake all the time
These are amazing photos.Enjoy! Swan and Eagle pictures.
What a beautiful Swan, so Graceful and Majestic.
Here comes the Eagle!!!
You can see the trail of loose feathers flying here from the swan.
This one is so amazing to see the actual eagle wing span beside the swan.This eagle has put on the brakes to slow the swan down.
The poor swan must be scared to death.It is attempting to actually escape death in the air.
The eagle is loosing his grip on the swan in this picture
The swan has fully extended it's wings for more power. Look at that swan's wing span, amazing!!!! Now the eagle is losing his grip on the swan completely.
At this point the swan starts falling straight down.The swan keeps it wings fully extended and floatsdown backwards, always watching the eagle above.
The swan falls into the water below, and swims away and the eagle just looks on at his 'lost' prey.
These are super amazing pictures because I have NEVER seen an eagle attack something so big in mid-air before.
I hope you enjoyed these pictures as much as i did.
Just a place for all my favourite raptor images, and stories. Will include peregrin falcons during this years season.
