It's called the Chilkat River

My first trip to Alaska was in December. Why December? The river I’m at is called the Chilkat River, and it’s one of the last rivers in Alaska to freeze over. This along with a late salmon run has been discovered by the bald eagles. I had the place to myself... Well almost, nearly 1200 eagles are also in the area. Overhead I count 17 eagles in one tree, and in front of me I see a solitary eaglewith a backdrop of the chilkat Mountain Range. The beauty, Solitude, and nature of a wonderful state, Alaska, the last frontier.
