I never saw an eagle, and hawks were rare as well. Today it is not uncommon to see an eagle feeding on road kill. A pair of Red Tailed Hawks have nested in my back yard for several years. My daughter lives in Anchorage and has two ankle-biter dogs, as far as she is concerned, the eagles are a hazard. Apparently in Anchorage, the eagles are as common as black buzzards are here.
