Although bald eagle mate for life that does not mean they sit in the same tree together. While along the shore they are in hunting mode and in separate tree they cover a much larger area. A two for one eagle photo is not that common and the only thing that you can be sure about is that these two are a mating pair as eagle are very territorial.
River in conflict
This sub-adult (four or five year old) grizzly is walking down-river but if you look closely at the water pushing against its legs the water is flowing up-river. The lower part of Knight Inlet’s Glendale River is a tidal river and at certain tides it provides our flat-bottom boats enough water that we can quietly move up the river to watch the grizzlies. This river is not more than 25 meters (yards) at its widest, which means when we meet a grizzly you are able to get good photos. The bears have become accustomed to meeting small boats on the river and if you are concerned about your safety just remember that as your guide I have a family and will not be taking ANY risk that jeopardize your or my life.
