In the American Camp prairie above South Beach on San Juan Island, sightings of bunnies, foxes and Bald Eagles are quite common. In May of this year though, visitors were treated to a spectacular battle, when a young fox captured a bunny and a Bald Eagle swept in to steal said bunny and ended up carrying bunny and fox 20 feet in the air. Just at that moment Kevin Ebi had his camera ready to take the above breathtaking photograph.
