Hundreds of Bald Eagles in the Trees

Hundreds of bald eagles perch in a stand of leafless trees. This huge gathering of bald eagles happens every year during the annual “salmon run,” when the food supply in the rivers multiplies exponentially while salmon swim upstream to spawn. Every year during the salmon run, the wildlife habitat of the Chilkat Preserve in Haines, Alaska becomes overrun with hundreds of bald eagles, if not thousands.
