Eagle Eye

All photos taken on December , 3, 2023, near the Stanley Park Teahouse.

Every time we walked this way, we kept hoping that the resident bald eagles would make an appearance. Well, it seems today was our lucky day. We heard the shrill cries from above and I managed one distant flight shot, before losing them in the trees. But, eagle eye Patty was with me and she soon spotted where they had landed.

It seems there were 4 eagles out this day, perhaps Mom and Dad and this year’s kids learning their eagle skills. We briefly saw the younger pair, but their perch remained out of our view.

From high aloft, comes a fearsome cry,

announcing a raptor on the fly.

Frightened little birds try hard to hide,

as steely eyes shift from side to side.

Purpose designed, all feathers and claws,

he’ll dine on you and not even pause.

But today, good luck may have found you,

they’ve only come for the Sunday view.

On the wing.

Well, you look to the left…

…and you look top the right…

…you do the hokey pokey, with all of your might.

Taking the sun, on a sunny Sunday

Like an old married couple on a park bench, they seem to be conversing..

…perhaps disagreeing…

…then feigning indifference

Satisfied with this sighting, we moved on and so did they.
