Homecoming at Haines

Article Abstract:

Bald eagles converge each fall at the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve north of Haines, where they fly over the Haines Highway, laze along the riverbanks or perch on top of trees. The annual visit of bald eagles, who come for the salmon in the Chilkat River, has come to be known as 'The Gathering.'
