Eagles are out in full force at Harrison River, over 5000 last weekend. According to the Fraser River Bald Eagle Festival website that’s more than the chief 'eagle biologist' has seen in his life-time.
We paddled down the river on Saturday and saw between 150 to 200, in the trees, on shore, in the water, in the air. 40 or 50 were soaring in the strong outflow over a northwest ridge of Mt Woodside. At least someone is getting airtime!
Pretty neat and fitting that after watching the record Sockeye run on the Adams River we now get to see this record eagle congregation!
