Not the same fish and grizzly bear as in yesterday’s post. The leaf is missing from the back and the fish is turned around but a better view of a bear with a mouth full. Every day on the lodge grizzly tour is different, if it weren’t it would become boring for the guides and so far it hasn’t. Even the boat ride up and down Knight Inlet remains interesting always on the look out for black bear, orca, dolphins, eagles and whales.
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.
