Great eagle pics
« on: December 02, 2010, 09:10:40 PM »
January  of this year, 2010, the weather stayed so cold in SOMEPLACE UNBEKNOWNST TO MEthat the bald eagles were cruising over houses in hopes of  a quick meal.  
 They  could not access fish that were at the bottom of the river and had  gathered together.    

Some  kind souls decided to feed the eagles so they would survive the cold  spell.

They  gathered fish and started feeding the group of eagles huddled on the  shore.

The photos below show what  happened. A former teaching colleague took these photos in front of his  home.

Incredible!  




Feeding  the Eagles!

Once  the fish were thrown, the eagles did not seem to fear the good Samaritans,  and  word spread fast!

Eagles are the coolest, but in a pack like that it brings back memories of Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds".  :vrolijk_11:
