Looking between stands 1 of 2

August 25, 2014 Lodge Guide

August 25th is the first day that Grizzly Bear Lodge is permitted to take quests to the viewing platforms on the Glendale River. There are two stands located on the river. This picture is taken from the finger stand looking back at the first that overlooks the weir. The weir is a small dam used to control the water level in the spawning channel that zig zags beyond the weir. If you take time to check the second posting on January 1st 2014, under “Monthly” to the right, it shows a Google map of the spawning channel …more tomorrow.

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.
