Description
About this image
An immature bald eagle, the darker bird sitting in the snow, had just fended off an intrusion from the eagle in the air. The action looked like they were caught in the middle of some kind of sultry dance.
Chicken farmers near Sheffield Mills have been providing scraps from their barns to eagles for 30-years. This was not some trick to attract photographers but dates to a time when bald eagle populations in the USA were under severe pressure (toxic agriculture chemicals were causing low reproductive success) and bald eagles were endangered. Nova Scotia had a much 'purer' environment and was used as a place to help rebuild US eagle populations. Farmers in Nova Scotia were encouraged to feed the eagles to help them overwinter and the practice carried on in the Annapolis Valley.
