These photos were taken recently by me, Tom Carver.

I live on Lakelse Lake just outside of Terrace, B.C.

I own The Water Lily Bay Resort and I also feed the swans

on the lake all the time!

Eagles are very common in this area, too.   

 

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 poor swan must be scared to death ...

 

             The swan is attempting to 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 falls into the water below, swims away and the eagle

          just looks on at his 'lost' prey.

       

        I'm amazed at these picture because I've NEVER seen eagles 

        attack or tackle something so big in mid-air before.
