Island Idyll

The bald eagle has just been taken off the endangered species list in the the US. Up here on Vancouver Island, we see bald eagles almost every day. On Hornby Island, about 3 hours north of Victoria, they don't seem to be in the least disturbed by humans. I spotted this one on a walk this morning and got within perhaps 20 ft. of its perch without it even batting an eye. But what beautiful creatures.


Look at that beak.
