Squamish is home to one of the largest populations of Bald Eagles in North America during the fall and winter months. The eagles congregate in the area, particularly around the Squamish and Cheakamus Rivers, to feed on salmon that spawn and die in the rivers.
Expect to photograph these majestic birds in their natural habitat as they hunt and feed on the abundant salmon. Not only are the eagles plentiful but the landscape along the river is breathtaking, making for some stunning backdrops.
