It is that time of year again in Squamish, when the majestic eagles arrive in droves to winter here.
There have been lots of eagles along the sand bars and on driftwood near the mouth of the Squamish River over the last week, according to local birder Chris Dale.
Dale says on Thursday he saw about 130 eagles along the fist couple of kilometres of the river.
They were feeding on the salmon after the tide had gone out and stranding the fish in the grasslands and sand bars, he told The Chief.
Eagle viewing is at its peak from mid-December to mid-January.
An eagle count is done each January. Squamish had the world record count of 3,769 eagles in the 1994 bird count.
