Folks,

 

Though this is not from Maryland, it is so astonishing that I am sending it.

Subject: Fwd: Eagle & Swan photo - Incredible

 

I am so relieved for the swan!!

 

 

Eagle almost gets a swan.....

 

These photos were taken recently by myselfm Tom Carver. I live on Lakelse

Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C.. I own The Water Lily Bay Resort, I also
feed the swans on the lake all the time!

 

Eagles are very common in this area too.  These are amazing photos!  

 

Enjoy!
 
Swan and Eagle pictures.

So here is the swan photo.

 What a beautiful bird, so graceful and majestic.
 

Here comes the Eagle!!!



 

You can see the feathers flying here from the swan.



This one is so amazing to see the actual eagle wing span beside the swan. 

                                       

The swan is attempting to actually escape death in the air!



The eagle is losing his grip on the swan in this picture.


 



 

Now the eagle has just lost his grip on the swan completely.
  




At this point the swan starts falling straight down.
 



The swan continues to fall into the water below, swims away and the eagle
just looks on at his 'lost' prey. I am amazed at these pictures

because I have NEVER seen an eagle attack or tackle something so big in
mid-air before.
