Swan And Eagle Pictures

Swan And Eagle  Pictures
Got these from a friend of mine who knows Tom.

These  photos were taken recently by myself, Tom Carver.  I live  on Lakelse Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C.
I own The Water  Lily  Bay Resort  and I also  feed the swans on  the lake all the time!
Eagles are very common in  this area, too.
   Enjoy!   Swan and  Eagle pictures.

So here is the swan photo.
            What a  beautiful bird, so graceful and  majestic.



Here  comes the Eagle!!!
You can see the feathers flying here from the  swan.




This one is so  amazing to see the actual  eagle wing  span beside the swan.
The  poor swan must be scared to death . The swan is  attempting to escape death in the air.
The eagle is loosing his grip on the swan in this  picture.



Now the  eagle has  just lost his grip on the swan  completely.




  At this  point the swan starts falling straight  down.




The swan  falls into the water below, swims away and the  eagle just looks  on at his 'lost' prey.
 





I'm  amazed at these picture because I've NEVER seen eagles attack  or tackle something so big in mid-air  before.

Teresa, when I lived in West Texas one of my Hunting Friends was a Rancher and he had Antelope on his ranch. The Eagles would swope down and grab the newborn baby Antelope and carry them off. He talked to a Game Warden and the Game Warden told him he just had to live with it and to not shoot the Eagles.
