A Bald Eagle In Local Park
We live about 10 blocks from Trout Lake a huge park in East Van. They have a Community Centre & Ice Rink plus a large park & lake right behind it that is frequented by Ducks, Geese, Canada Geese that we go & feed in the wintertime.
The ice rink is where there is a heavy police presence because the Olympic Figure Skaters practice thier routines there while the Olympics is on.
While feeding the ducks at thelake someone pointed out a Bald Eagle perched at the top of a 50-60 foot tree watching us feed the ducks.
He had just swwoped down and grabbed a perch that is stocked at the lake.
There are no more Trout stocked there.
Pictures are not great as the sun was going down & I just used my hand held digital camera.
This is the first time I have seen a Bald Eagle in the City.

Re: A Bald Eagle In Local Park
Bald eagles are just amazing - there is a pair that calls Shiloh National Park "home" - they've raised at least two years from a huge pine tree near "bloody pond" - the park marked off parking areas so you could observe them - we took the grandkids over for a viewing one day - and heard the story that one of the eagles had grabbed a couples' small dog - never to be seen again!!!! true story. so sad for dog owners.

Re: A Bald Eagle In Local Park
Thanks for sharing your pictures. It's always neat to see eagles.
They congregate on the Missouri River too and I've seen them a few times.
They're so impressive.
