Shores of Lake Erie and Rocky RiverThese are the men who were feeding the eagles. So close!! Once the fish were thrown, the eagles did not seem to fear the good Samaritans and word spread fast! Eagles vying for the fish.No zoom lens used here! The photographer was this close!It was not too long ago that the American Bald Eagle was an endangered species. This group made it.

In January of this year, 2013, the weather stayed so cold in Hinckley, Ohio on the shores of Lake Erie & Rocky River. that the bald eagles were cruising over houses in hopes of a quick meal. They could not access fish that were at the bottom of the river and had gathered together.

Some kind souls decided to feed the eagles so they would survive the cold spell. They gathered fish and started feeding the group of eagles huddled on the shore.  The photos below show what happened.
