It’s a little ironic that a trip outside the United States will get you an unparalleled view of the national bird, but it’s true: the world’s second-largest concentration of bald eagles can be found in the residential community of Brackendale in the Canadian district of Squamish, an hour’s drive from Vancouver. Literally thousands of eagles call the area home between November and March, when they flock there to feed on the spawning salmon in the local river systems. Local outfitters like Canadian Outback Adventures offer guided tours — for avid bird-watchers and amateurs alike — that take you by raft to see the noble creatures up close. A sighting of the eagles’ massive 6-to-8-foot wingspans, unfurled as they glide through the air on the lookout for a tasty fish or a cozy branch in the wilderness, will connect you to the spirit of nature like nothing else can. canadianoutback.com Category: Latest Coverage
