Eagle almost gets a swan

Eagle almost gets a swan

These photos were taken recently by Tom Carver.he lives on Lakelse Lake ( just outside of Terrace, B.C. )
he also feed the swans on the lake all the time .Eagles are very common in this area .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 from the swan flying here.

 

      This one is so amazing to see the actual eagle wing span beside the swan.The poor swan must be scared to death. It is attempting to actually escape death in the air !!

 

The eagle is loosing 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 falls into the water below - swims away and the eagle just looks on at his 'lost' prey. he was amazed at these pictures

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