Ed, superb captures The last one of the juvie is fantastic

Ed, you got some wonderful shots of many different eagles. Looks like you had a really good weather day. Not so much here on Fri when we had some unsuspected eagle activity right out our front window here in Gibsons BC. It started about 11:00 am when Hubbie spotted an adult eagle sitting in a tree on an adjacent property to us. First pic will show approximate nearness to our balcony. Rest are zoomed in.


On zooming in to the picture I discovered how very bloody this eagle was. I had questioned whether there was still brown feathering on the head. Nope, a bloody adult.


A neighbour inadvertently scared it away so it flew to the top of a higher tree and took up the pose of very wet wings.

Eventually it disappeared, until about 3:00 pm when I saw it fly by low, circle and land in a neighbour's back yard. We climbed a low rock retaining wall to see what was happening and on making it to higher ground where we could see it flew up and back to the same tree. I guess we were too close.



We looked carefully in the yard it had landed in to find partially eaten prey. Due to lack of a feathery mess we determined it must have been something either hairy or furry, a significant size such as rabbit or smallish pet. Even zoomed in, we couldn't determine what the prey was.

It sat in the tree looking down. I'm thinking it started with a poop shot then sat looking at the prey below.
