So A Fox, Beaver, and Eagle Meet On The Lake

[Dwinal87]

My SO got these while I was at work yesterday. I'm so jealous I missed it! There are a couple more good ones I will post later, after I have a chance to get them uploaded.

If you look at the far right in the water you will see the beaver...lurking.

1. Way cool! nt

[Budi]

2. Talk about a 'One in a Million' moment for a photographer!

Wow.

[CrispyQ]

3. What a wonderful triple treat!

We watched a documentary on beavers that was fascinating! What fabulous & industrious little creatures!

4. Where is this?

[Dwinal87]

9. Across from our home

Not far from Westford, MA, just off I-495.

[Sneederbunk]

12. Thank you.

[intheflow]

33. Wow, that's not far from me!

I was thinking Alaska, maybe.

This really is an extraordinary series that cries out to be made into a children’s book. I can imagine the opening line: “The young beaver knew he had to report what he witnessed: the predators were forming interspecies alliances.”

5. Great shots. Talk about being in the right place at the right time.

8. Amazing shots!!

What’s the probability of this setup occurring?
Amazing amazing ! Thanks for sharing!

[Dwinal87]

10. Right?!!?

We've seen all of these creatures separately just in the last week. But to see them together was just amazing for my SO!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

11. Your SO did really well. I can bet you're disappointed! Wonderful shots. n/t

13. A Fox, A Beaver And An Eagle Walk Into A Bar...

Great shots!

19. Setup ;-

Yeah, From the OP's header, I thought this post was gonna be a joke...cool pics but I'm a bit dissapointed as i could use a good laugh...

[Dwinal87]

34. I'm sorry

for the misleading header. Would you accept a laughing big horn sheep instead?

I know we could all use a laugh once in a while.

14. That 1st one should be submitted to wildlife photo contest! Great catch!!

[TNNurse]

26. Absolutely needs to be entered in a contest.

[Demovictory9]

15. Nice

[erronis]

16. So what was the predatory angle here? Fox after eagle or suggesting pairing up to get the beaver?

It seems that the beaver is in the best spot to win any contest.

[DENVERPOPS]

18. The beaver

is probably about 40lbs and the strength of it's tail could probably knock the other two silly.............

[Dwinal87]

35. None at all

Near as I could tell looking at the series of pictures.

The fox was too small to take either of the others, and both the fox and beaver were too big for the eagle. They all were just curious about the other. Maybe the beaver was a little concerned, but was also in the safest position once it was in the water.

[yardwork]

38. My theory - based just on the three photos:

Maybe the fox was thinking about stealing a catch from the eagle, and the beaver told them to take it someplace else. In the second photo I think that splash is the beaver's tail hitting the water. Notice it startled the fox off the ice.

17. Fine, fun pictures

The beaver is right there, you can see the top portion of his head sticking just above the surface of the water. I saw his ear first, then his eye and nose. Very cool, thanks for posting.

[Marcuse]

20. They don't believe the Fox is fair and balanced.

[MLAA]

28. 😬

[COL Mustard]

21. Took Me A Minute To Find The Beaver

Gosh, that just doesn't sound right....

[GB_RN]

30. Lol!

[cp]

22. Glorious!

The scene and the photos. Thank you for brightening my spirit!

[Cozmo]

23. Thanks for this

[Karadeniz]

24. An eagle can carry a big load...is Foxy in danger?

[Marthe48]

25. Terrific pictures!

I'm waiting for my daughter to send me a video of one of her roosters chasing a squirrel. lol

[yardwork]

27. The beaver was not having it!

[MLAA]

29. This is an incredible shot. Just amazing 🤩

[11 Bravo]

32. And the fox is saying, "DAMN! I wish they'd rename that fucking network!"

"I don't deserve to be associated with that gang of lying assholes!"

[Talitha]

36. Phenomenal captures... Kudos to your SO!!!!!!

Gee, I'd love to know what each of them was thinking as this unfolded.

[Livbaker]

37. Wow

such a great shot! That's amazing

[Moral Compass]

39. Feel like an idiot...

I kept not looking at this because I thought it was the beginning of some kind of strange wildlife joke using wildlife as political metaphors.

Finally looked at it and these are some incredible shots that people rarely can get. Awesome.

Wow.
