The Fraser Valley November Festival has a great video of eagles http://www.fraservalleybaldeaglefestival.ca/index.html
The original design is a collage from about 100 photos. Eagles are very social and stay in family groups ... squabbling just like any other family. Here is mom (white head) with two youngsters (brown feathers). She was allowing the smaller bird to feed on her fish, but wouldn't allow the larger and older bird to eat.He appealed to dad on a nearby stump. Dad played it smart and didn't interfere with mom's decision. There were favorite fishing spots with limited time allowance. As shown in the quilt, the eagle who catches the fish is not necessarily the eagle who eats the fish.The best time for viewing is the middle of December through to the beginning of February. There are pontoon raft trips down the river ... for a close view of this amazing bird.

beautiful quilt and interesting information about eagles. Weaning babies is always hard, be they pet birds or wild eagles :-) (I saw the same story with my cockatiels).
The eagle photos are fantastic. What an amazing piece of art you created! Congratulations!
