The Majestic Bald Eagles of Cape Breton Island

Bald Eagles are quite rare in most places and, although quite rare in Nova Scotia with only 200 mating pairs, I still manage to see them quite often! I assume this is because most of the Bald Eagles in Nova Scotia are found in the area of the Bras D'or Lakes on Cape Breton Island which is close to where I live.

I frequently see these beautiful and majestic eagles but usually I only see one at any one time. Yesterday I had the privilege of seeing two together and, as luck would have it, I happened to have my camera with me! I first noticed one in a tree above me and while photographing him, he got a bit spooked and flew to another nearby tree where another one was perched, waiting. And that is when I was able to get rare photographs of two bald eagles at once! I won't say where I saw them to protect there whereabouts from curious viewers who may disturb their nest and hunting grounds but I will share the beautiful photos I captured....
