Bald Eagles are ubiquitous in Glacier Bay. You see them in trees, on icebergs and, of course, in flight. And although eagles are known for plucking fish out of the water, to actually see this behavior is not very common. To get a good photo of it is even more difficult. This shot was taken from a small boat near the park's southern border. If you look closely you can see droplets of blood amongst the water droplets falling from the bird. The fish is not a salmon, but a large herring, distinguishable from the forked tail.
