MORE THAN SEW SO

A Gathering Of Eagles

Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles down at Goose Spit Indian Reservation 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!

Comox, B.C., Vancouver Island , Jan. 2009

   Holy COW that is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen! I can’t believe all of those eagles are in the same place, so incredible. Now I know where all of the “endangered to extinction” Ontario bald eagles are – right there getting restaurant service, lol.
   Thank you so much for sharing

   LOL Meghann…I guess you’re right. I love eagles…I have had the privilege of seeing 2 of them here in Ohio. They were “planted” by the Wildlife Federation near our campgrounds. We only saw them twice, but it was fantastic! Have seen them on our trips out west, but again, only a few. I guess they spread the word…”Buffet being served on Vancouver Island; all eagles welcome!”

   That is incredible! I’ve only ever seen one eagle in the wild and it was in flight, I would have been stunned to see this in person!

   I’m lucky living here in the Northwest. I see them fairly often here. There is nothing like watching them fly overhead. Just beautiful…and so powerful.!

   Oh wooooww! I’ve never seen that many eagles in one place before. Not even close. They’re normally quite solitary, aren’t they? These are some incredible photos.

   That was a lot of eagles. It was amazing that they allowed you to get this close for those shots.

    Ha! The sign probably said “do not feed the birds.” Awesome, but a little scary. Eagles are large enough to do serious damage to people.

    I used one of the photos (the close-up) for my desktop background and it looks awesome ( a big pixally, but good)!
    Thanks for sharing them!

    @ Barb: Hi my friend. Yes, you ARE lucky to have access to them all the time. I think they’re amazing!

    @ Joy: Yes, I think they are quite solitary or with a mate. I think they hunt alone, but when we’d see one at the campground, the other was not far away. The rangers had “planted” a pair. I’m sure they were usually together.

    @ BK: Extremely unusual that they should allow a photographer was so close. I don’t think this was the 1st encounter they had with humans so perhaps they were used to people.

    @ Sharkbytes: LOL…you might be right. I’m not sure I would have been that close to them. I think they could inflict a lot of pain with that beak and those talons!

    @ Pamela: You’re very welcome…glad you could use one of the pix as a background. The one you chose was my favorite too.

    @ Anna: WOW is a good word for that, also astounding, amazing and awesome! LOL

    @ Theresa: You’re welcome. Thanks for dropping by!

    Awesome photos so glad you shared them. I’ve never seen so many in one setting and I’ve only ever seen a handful and they were always in flight so majestic.

    Hi Jude…I agree with Joy that I was under the impression that eagles were solitary souls. I have never seen more than two at a time and I know they were a pair! I would have been awe-struck to have seen this many at one gathering!

    These have to be some of the most incredible wildlife photos I’ve ever seen!! We saw plenty of eagles during our Alaskan Cruise but not this many in one place except for the raptor center.
