Baldies

I have never had the opportunity to visit Homer in the summer because I am always off on my Wildlife Tech work in some remote place. But I have gone twice in the winter, as it's not too far of a drive from Anchorage. Although the Homer spit is pretty much closed down, there are tons of bald eagles everywhere. The darker bird is a juvenile. Of course, most of the reason there are so many is that they get fed here. But it's still spectacular to behold. Between the beaches, glaciers and wildlife, everywhere you turn is a stunning view. The year-round residents seem to be very laid-back and gracious, as well. I highly recommend Homer to anyone visiting Alaska.
