bald eagles
Mark Wickens points us this morning to this video of a pair of bald eagles and their chicks in Sydney, BC.
When I was in BC last summer I saw a pair of bald eagles at Willows Beach in Oak Bay in Victoria.
I managed to get a couple of photos of the birds. Here’s how I described it on my photoblog:
Tried to speed walk nearly the entire length of the beach. Walked barefoot across stones, rocks, and jagged boulders. Came close to falling and smashing several hundreds of dollars worth of camera gear. Nearly stepped on broken glass while trying to avoid the fall. Got bug bites on my ankles that kept me from sleeping through the night for nearly two weeks afterwards. Seeing these two bald eagles in the wild at Willows Beach in Oak Bay in British Columbia? Worth every single one of those poorly thought out, risky, and painful steps.
Here are two of those photos:
