On Vancouver Island, a familiar bald eagle nest is suddenly home to a most unfamiliar scene.
The eagle parents are not only busy feeding three eaglets in that nest. They're also feeding a baby red tailed hawk!
How it all came to be remains a mystery.
But there's no doubt about who's been capturing some spectacular, up-close moments on video.
Photographer Christian Sasse of Surrey, British Columbia shares some of his insights into this compelling story.
He shoots with an 800mm lens, allowing him to get extreme close-ups of the nest, while standing a great distance away.
The interview takes place the night before another ferry ride to Vancouver Island so that he can visit the nest with longtime bald eagle research David Hancock.
