American Bald Eagle Foundation Director Cheryl McRoberts explains that as the weather cools, warmth that has seeped into the gravel rises "so that four-mile stretch of river does not freeze." Since everything in the surrounding area is frozen, this is the best access spot for the eagles to feed on a late run of fish.
This event, sponsored by the
American Bald Eagle Foundation, celebrates the peak of the winter gathering of eagles.

"The American Bald Eagle Festival is in its 11th year," said Dave Olerud of the
American Bald Eagle Foundation located in Haines.
"It's still a gorgeous place to go and see in the summer months, but it isn't quite as stacked with eagles from top to bottom." The
American Bald Eagle Foundation is also open all year, which features a diorama of Alaska wildlife and a vast array of information on the nation's symbol.
