We have a fair number of sandhill cranes around this time of year. A couple of weeks ago a pair was hanging out in the marsh behind our cabin. I saw this one up at Black Lake a couple days ago. Its not a great shot, but they are hard to get close to.
Bald eagles are more common and easier to get close to. This juvenile was hanging out on the bank of Chignik River and we doubled back after passing him once and he didn't seem to mind. Sometimes the eagles on the salmon spawning grounds get so fat with fish they seem to have trouble taking off, but early season they are pretty trim.
