A rare sight in British Columbia 🦅 A large group of bald eagles gathered across a snowy mountainside, an unusual moment

7. Not *that* rare

We took a cruise to Alaska many years ago, and at one stop, on the way to whatever tourist attraction we were visiting, our bus passed the local landfill, which was swarming with bald eagles- there were as many eagles as seagulls you would normally see at landfills farther south.

In my town of Nanaimo on Vancouver island in BC, in the spring and summer we see small groups of 3-6 Bald eagles circling the sky looking for food (including rabbits and pets out in the open). This is over a fairly dense, but wooded, residential neighborhood.
