Concentration Of Bald Eagles in Juneau

Well up in Juneau, Alaska, eagles are plentiful. You can’t go a day without spotting them. Honestly, they’re like crows up here!

Read more about watching the brilliant birds of prey here.

Behaviors

Sharp as a tack, the bird of prey can spot a fish from up to a mile away. And swift as they come, the majestic creatures of the sky think nothing of nosediving at 100mph when it has one in its sight. When it’s not scouring from above, you might see one devouring a salmon. Or, you might even see an eagle embedding its talons into a fish before taking off to consume its dinner in peace.

Juneau will undoubtedly give you generous sightings of the eagles soaring above. So, come and witness the glory of bald eagles gliding in, trimming their angles this way and that. They await your viewing pleasure.
