| The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve boasts the world's largest feeding concentration of bald eagles. As many as 4,000 bald eagles gather here from late October through February, attracted by rich salmon runs at the confluence of the Tsirku and Chilkat Rivers. Biologists estimate that as many as 400 of the magnificent birds make their year-round home in the Chilkat Valley. This area straddles the coastal and interior ecosystems and shares the wildlife of both. Visitors may also spot brown and black bears, moose, mountain goats, river otters, wolves, wolverines, and coyotes. |
