perhaps that bald eagle was EDGAR?

A few days ago, it was cold & crisp, in the late afternoon.

There was a small flock of ducks tucked in close to the shore,

when all of a sudden they took to the air in flurry of different directions...

I ran for the door, camera in hand, knowing our bald eagle was quite handy...

This was is it, a great chance to capture a few close shots of our not so shy bald eagle...

Well, let me tell you, when you can plainly see a bald eagle's eyes - you are close,

probably too close, however, photographing him, isn't quite as easy as it would seem,

especially when he is being pursued by a not so friendly crow.

A crow definitely not interested in sharing the neighborhood...

(Yes, crows will chase eagles!)

It was quite a show, they were flight & fight ~

making several swoops around the homes, phonelines & shore line,

before the crow gave the eagle his well earned space

(he really worked for it).

Quite amazing to watch a crow aggressively bully a bald eagle from his territory...

While watching the antics of the 2 birds,

I was reminded of my friend, Ros Beaudet,

recently,

she has written a couple of children's books:

"SUMMERTAILS" & "OUR JOURNEYS"

~

one of the characters was named EDGAR EAGLE.

perhaps that bald eagle was EDGAR?

fun to imagine...
