Poised for Action

Southern Vancouver Island

We are fortunate to live in an area where eagles thrive and I never tire of watching and photographing these majestic birds. Bald Eagle facts: Bald Eagles may be seen at any time of the year, but they often gather in large numbers when food is plentiful. In the spring, when the herring spawn, the eagles join thousands of seabirds, and marine mammals, off the east coast of Vancouver Island. In the fall and winter, they move to the salmon streams to feed on the spawned-out fish. ~ britishcolumbia.com
