Eagles

After getting picked up at our lodge near the Kenai airport, Lisa and Dan took us to a lodge that overlooks the Cooke Inlet. Two eagles were sitting in a tree in front of my cabin as I brought my luggage inside. There are large windows that allow for a great view of the inlet and the gulls which fly back and forth continuously and the eagles which hang around regularly. Besides sitting in the trees by the cabin, they rest on top of the large rocks in the water.

We ate an amazing lunch prepared by chef Barb and headed to eagle beach where eagles often congregate. Fisherman dump fish remains on the beach which leads to a gathering of gulls, crows, and eagles to take advantage of the feast.

After leaving eagle beach, we visited an active eagle’s nest with 3 small chicks. I also enjoyed the other bird life and the interesting plants. Perhaps one of my favorite sightings was a young moose.
