  • The reaction

    The reaction

    The majority of Eagles are not overly excited about being photographed, not that they know exactly why we are pointing the big eye at them. This eagle is about to make an evasive manoeuvre to the right away from the camera the top wing is folded back starting the turn. I'm not sure if this is a general reaction amongst Eagles or if it is from being shot at, sad if that is the case it does happen on Vancouver Is and the lower mainland.

    Forest Eagle

    I found this Eagle alone in the forest no idea what had attracted it there didn't seem to be a food source. Maybe when they need some alone time that is what they do. Remember you are never as connected as you are in the forest :)
