This Imature Eagle (young, about 2-3 years old since he is only mottled white) is keeping an eye on two First Nations (Tlingit Indian Nation) individuals in a row boat just below the tree he is in. They were netting salmon and he was looking for easy pickings. In November, about 3-4,000 eagles show up along the river in this eagle preserve.
HAINES JUNCTION, YT., Sept. 3, 2006
Fresh snow on the St. Elias Mountains north of Haines Junction. The mt. range is in Kluane National Park. We've already seen light dusting on mtns. near Skagway, but this snow is letting everyone in the area know that winter isn't far off. There were mountains with a much heavier covering, but when we got outside from breakfast the clouds had dropped down to obscure the 10-14,000 peaks.
