Rapt by raptors: photographers, birders flock to Haines for bald eagle gathering.(Alaska This Month)
[ILLUSTRATIONS OMITTED]
In early winter, thousands of bald eagles congregate along a section of the Chilkat River just outside of Haines. The spot is unique--an underground reservoir warms the water to prevent freezing and permit late-season salmon spawning. The multitudes of raptors, joined by bears, relish the feast, and birders and photographers from afar treasure the opportunity.
Haines is home to the American Bald Eagle Foundation and the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve. Each November, the community offers a festival filled with eagle viewing, presentations and a special eagle-release ceremony.
The 13th Annual Alaska Bald Eagle Festival runs Nov. 7 to Nov. 11. Organizers tout the event as the world's largest gathering of bald eagles.
"We've been blessed for thousands of years," said Dave Olerud, founder of the American Bald Eagle Foundation.
