Grizzly Bear Lodge in the morning

January 15, 2014 Lodge Guide

A quiet morning departure from Grizzly Bear Lodge located on Minstrel Island (Knight Inlet) at the edge of BC’s Great Bear Rainforest. Depending on the season tours leave either by 7:30 or 8:00 and return between 3:00 and 5:00 depending on the days success. Guests often want a picture of the lodge and dock as we leave or return in the afternoon. Accommodating eight to ten guests allows for the personal touch from the gourmet meals to sharing the boat with a maximum of five people including the guide. The limit placed on the number of guests in camp is often one of the main reasons guest first select Grizzly Bear Lodge but by the time they leave it is the family atmosphere and the years of experience of all the staff that makes the visit memorable.

Bald Eagles

Bald Eagles are frequently sighted in our area. At times they can be seen in large numbers. This is usually where food supplies are high. For example this could be in areas with high concentrations of baitfish or along the rivers in the fall when the salmon are spawning. They are not migratory, but do move around with the food supply. As mentioned earlier when the salmon are spawning we often see many along the rivers, while there will be fewer along the coastline. With little need for camouflage their white head and tail feathers can be spotted easily. The female is slightly larger and her white head extends down a bit farther onto the body, but it is subtle. It takes these birds 4.5 – 5 years to acquire this unique plumage. As juveniles they are a brown colour. With exceptional eyesight and the ability to view 270 degrees they are understandably often seen in high perches and in trees near points and passageways.
