I promise you I will make my way up north soon. lol I thought it would be good to start off with a region and go with it so that if your searching the post aren't all jumbled up...
So now I start with Bald Eagle Fest in Haines Alaska..
Every year up to 4,000 bald eagles flock to Haines for the salmon run in October early mid November, each year the eagles flock to this town from as far away as Washington State. Can you imagine the site. This is the biggest gathering of bald eagles in the world.
Events to attend while at eagle fest would be:
The release of injured eagles which will take place at 1:30 pm at the preserve.
Started in 2003 the "Flight For Freedom" auction program raises funds for statewide educational programs having to do with the American Bald Eagle and the preservation of its habitat in Alaska
This years ABEF featured photographer of the year will be Ron Horn
ABEF Artist of the year is Rob Goldberg
All information on the event could be viewed on their web site http://baldeaglefestival.org/
If you in Alaska November 11th - 15th this might be of interest to you.
