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.
Yesterday we were on a road trip to the mid-island in search of Long-tailed ducks, unfortunately, they were way across the channel, tiny dots in the seascape. This Eagle was nearby begging to have his photo taken... well that is how I saw it : )
