We were told by the nature expert on the boat that if we couldn't find bald eagles in Juneau then he didn't have much hope for us finding our luggage at the end of the cruise. They were everywhere and within 5 minutes of being in the mini bus on the way to our whale watching experience we had seen half a dozen. Quite a sight but difficult to photograph with my camera but you might be able to spot the white head, looking like a golf ball, in this photo.
At the top of the mountain we were able to look out over the temperate rainforest vegetation and saw a bald eagle's nest high in a tree top. These can weigh up to four tonnes and are added to year after year by the same pair of birds. With the binoculars we could see the adult quite clearly and two black fluffy chicks. AMAZING!
