My sister sent me these pix. I lived in Comox for several years. My boys and I often had picnics at this beach.

"Comox, Vancouver Island, B.C.
In January 2009, the weather was so cold that the bald eagles were cruising over our houses looking for
helpless cats to make a quick meal of.
Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles down at Goose Spit so they could survive the cold spell
without eating our pets.
Here's what happened! Take note, this is Vancouver Island ... NOT ALASKA !
One of the residents took these photos in front of his home. What a sight to see! "

Amazing Photos!!! When visiting our family in La Crosse, WI we often see eagles sitting on the ice around small openings on the back-waters of the Mississippi & Black Rivers. There are maybe a dozen at each hole!

We have what is known as The Great River Road and people go there to watch the Eagles. It is a big deal to lots of people. I always seem to have something else to do. I know the area, can't think of the highway number.

We have a bald eagle nest on the edge of a lake just down the street from my cottage. Many people stop to look or take pictures. The other day when I was walking I saw an eagle heading for the nest and watched as it landed. What a sight!

Wow! Amazing pics. They go to Lake Coeur d' Alene (Idaho)every winter when the Kokanee spawn. I took my grandkids one year when I lived there which was cool, but none this close or even that many. I was kind of close to a golden eagle one year while pike fishing. It was in one of the pine trees on the beach eating a fish. It stayed there munching for a long, long time (hours). I watched for a while then went home for my camera which took me half hour to 45 minutes, and it was still there. I took a bunch of pics. We even went under the tree to get pics shooting up at it. I would post a couple, but they are packed away.
