Animals in their natural habits are known to amaze the human eye, and bald eagles are no exception 鈥� but it鈥檚 not every day their magnificence is caught on a cellphone camera.
Earlier this week, Chief Wayne Sparrow of the Musqueam Indian Band (x史m蓹胃k史蓹y虛蓹m) was near Bowen Island when he spotted a bald eagle hunting for its next meal, according to his nephew Wade Grant.
Grant, who took to Twitter to share slow-motion footage Sparrow captured of a bald eagle snatching a fish up from the water, said his uncle 鈥渨as out doing what our ancestors did and caught something that will make you smile.鈥�
No surprise, the captivating video was already viewed nearly 500,000 times as of Saturday morning (July 4).
鈥淭his is why we have chosen to live here since time immemorial,鈥� Grant said.
