Bald eagle

July 3, 2013 Lodge Guide

An almost white headed bald eagle. The Hancock Wildlife Foundation site states “Bald Eagles are not bald at all, but have a white head. Hundreds of years ago the English word for WHITE was BALDE and the word piebalde meant mottled with white, so the eagles with white heads were called Balde Eagles.” I use this quote to mention the Hancock Wildlife Foundation so if you are interested in bald eagles Google their name to arrive at their site where they have live webcams of an eagle’s nests.

Once the grizzly in yesterday’s post gets a good hold on the salmon it throws it up the shore away from the water. In this case keeping a mouthful of the belly. Many grizzlies catch and eat the salmon in the water but the less experienced bears will go to shore where there is a lower chance of losing the salmon.
