Eagle Attacking Swan
These photos were taken recently by Tom Carver, He lives on Lakelse Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C..
He owns The Water Lily Bay Resort, He also feeds the swans on the lake all the time!.
Eagles are very common in this area too. These are amazing photos! Enjoy!

This one is so amazing to see the eagle wing span beside the swan. Poor thing must be scared to death.

The swan falls into the water, swims away and the eagle just looks on. I am amazed, and have never seen
an eagle tackle something so big in mid air before.
