Bald eagle roost, Cannery Cove, Pybus Bay, Alaska, 2013

Our fishing camp was located within Cannery Cove –a small bay within Pybus Bay itself. Dozens of bald eagles roost in this cove, many of them within our fishing camp, largely because they usually feed on the carcasses of the fish that are caught and then cleaned here. This backlighted immature eagle waits on a nearby rock for a free breakfast. However, each day’s catch is not cleaned until the fishermen return home at 5 pm, and this young eagle will have a long wait.
