Easy Grizzly Watching Tour

January 23, 2013 Lodge Guide

A grizzly bear tour from the lodge is always easier on the guide when you arrive at the viewing stand to the site in this picture. Most days we are in the second viewing stand so you do not have the weir in your photos. A little more natural. Yes there are just as many bears at the other stand less than one hundred yards (meters) away. Unlike the grizzly of Alaska the bears of Knight Inlet do not do a lot of fighting as there is an abundance of food for the number of bears so they are to busy eating. By count there are more than forty bears in Glendale River viewing area.

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.
