Haines--Chilkat River Bald Eagle Festival Again GREAT Success
November 2005 saw winter close in early on the norther bald eagle habitat. By the time of the Haine-Chilkat Bald Eagle Festival of November 7 - 13 happened most of the northern rivers were frozen and on that weekend before a 6 inch snowfall throughout the northern areas sealed off the salmon carcasses and drove the eagles to the Chilkat or south to warmer climes.

The NEXT Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival: Nov 17 -- 18 2007
I predict the biggest year for eagles ever -- even with the early salmon runs being at an all time low. But nature has another little trick up her sleeve I think she might unravel this year.
North West Coast Numbers of Bald Eagles likely to be record for 2005-06 wintering.
