Lodge staff – Grizzly Bear Lodge

January 2, 2013 Lodge Guide

The staff at Grizzly Bear Lodge has all been with the lodge for more than ten years each. They shall remain nameless until you arrive. These pictures remain small to hide the true identity of the staff. The cook, ever present maintenance man / deck hand and the guides all enjoy their work and spend allot of time with the guests. Share meals and hours of conversation around the same table. We all live on Vancouver Island and have spent our live along the BC coast. Photos by

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.
