Yes, out east here we thrill to the rather rare sight of a Bald Eagle. But when I spent expended time in rural Alaska, I got tired of seeing them. If you look in the tallest tree at every bend in a river up there, a Baldie will be perched watching for fish below. They seemed as common as Sparrows.
There is a town called Chitina in the Copper River valley where Alaskans dip-net for salmon. The eagles congregate by the river when the salmon season starts. The photo above was taken by the Copper River in Chitina.
