I was very fortunate to witness several Mother Bald Eagles (Haliaeetus Leucocephalus) as they taught their youngsters how to hunt for American Crows which had nested just nearby, an amazing spectacle. The youngsters watched mum and then one by one took to the sky as she commanded, in search of prey.

This photograph was taken at 17:16pm on Monday May 16th 2016 on Glacier Highway 37A in the Town of Stewart, a district municipality at the head of the Portland Canal in northwestern 
British Columbia, Canada on the Canada-US border. The US border side is unmanned and the only entry point into the USA from Canada that has no border guard presence.
