Bald Eagles Arrive In Squamish Bc
By Gordon Addison, Mon Dec 26th
Once again our planet's largest gatherings of Bald Eagles inunderway in Squamish British Columbia, just North of VancouverBC, and just 50 km south of the world class Whistler Ski Resort.Based on population estimates, up to 5% of the world's baldeagles winter in this very accessible area. From one viewingspace, often dozens of Eagles can be seen, and a short walk inthe right direction will allow you to see many more. For decades, thousands of majestic Bald Eagles have beengathering on the riverbanks of the Squamish and CheakamusRivers, feasting on the ample salmon that either did not quitemake it to the spawning channels, or have accomplished theirlife's goal, and thus have met their subsequent demise. Workingto preserve their energy in the winter months, eagles will eatup to a two pounds of this high value protein every day. The highlight of the eagle-viewing period is the annual BaldEagle Count, which will take place on January 8th this seasonand is headquartered out of the Brackendale Art Gallery. Using consistentmethodology, a count of the eagles in the area on this weekendevery year has been kept since 1986. In 1994 a world record 3769eagles were counted within a few kilometers of the Squamish areaand its tributary rivers.
Bad weather can be good for eagle viewing as the eagles tend tostay closer to the riverbanks and closer to viewing areas. Whenthe weather is great, they are more likely to be off for alittle fly around the rivers, mountains and forests of theSquamish area. One of the best ways to see the Bald Eagles in their spectacularsurroundings right in their own habitat is on an Eagle Float tour, or Eagle Safari through CanadianOutback Adventures [www.canadianoutback.com]. A dreamexperience for adventure travelers, photographers, families,schools and educational groups, it is the best way to get upclose to these raptors without disturbing them. While theyusually run white water rafting trips in the summer, in winter,Canadian Outback takes vacationers, school and educationalgroups on float tours down the rivers in the area in order tosee these spectacular birds in their natural habitat, all withstunning mountain and forest backdrops. The closest SquamishHotel to the prime eagle viewing area in Brackendale is theSea to SkyHotel & Conference Center [www.seatoskyhotel.com]

There are other good viewing areas in town, particularly alongthe river dykes at the end of Judd Road, and around the spawningchannels between the Mamquam River and the Squamish Valley Golfand Country Club. Directions: To see the eagles from arguably the best viewingarea, turn west from Highway 99 at Garibaldi Way. This is a lefthand turn if you are coming from Vancouver, or a right hand turnif you are coming from Whistler. Turn right again in about 20metres at the T-junction with Government Road. Follow Governmentroad for just under one kilometer, and you will be at the EagleViewing area. There is lots of parking on the right and aninterpretive center on the dyke from which you can get a greatview of dozens of Bald Eagles. If you are very lucky, there mayalso be a few seals around, as well as a variety of other birdspecies. On weekends from December to mid-February there areoften volunteers from Squamish's Eagle Watch program on hand tooffer more information and a peek through higher poweredtelescopes. Other great viewing areas are near the TenderfootFish Hatchery, The Squamish Estuary, and near the Spawningchannels between the Mamquam River and the Squamish Valley Golfand Country club.
