Other Alaskan wildlife








Whales, otters, seals, porpoises are common sights in Cook Inlet. The moose and caribou are frequent visitors to the lodge area. But the eagles provide the real drama. The lodge is on a treed cliff and the eagles are nesting practically at eye level... The fledglings spend hours teetering on the edge of huge nests flapping their wings before launching themselves on that first flight. They feed on the beach and at sea... plus my son has a feeding platform where the fish scraps are put out for the eagles and other sea birds. Aerial territorial squabbles are a common site....
