Eagle food

On Vancouver Island, because of poor fishing off the coast, it was common knowledge not to walk your dog off-leash at the beach, or in dog parks, without keeping a close eye up above since the bald eagles weren't getting enough wild prey...

On the Bear Mountain golf course, bald eagles would attack deer and kill them... seriously...

In Vancouver, it doesn't seem like that's as much of a problem, but a couple weeks ago at Jericho, I was walking with Eva and saw an eagle swooping down straight towards us. Automatically I pulled Eva's leash and stepped in front of her, and the eagle immediately turned and landed in a tree not even 20 feet to my left...

Guess it's a good thing my experience on Vancouver Island made me more aware or my little beagle could have turned into a snack for this guy:
