Bald eagle viewing in Alaska
We are looking at a 7 day cruise. With most of the ports the same is there one better for seeing bald eagles? We are planning June, July or August. Is one month better than another?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The bald eagles of coastal Alaska live there year round.
You don't have to pay big bucks to take a cruise to see bald eagles.
I've already seen my first bald eagle of 2017 along I-5 north of Albany Oregon.
I enjoyed the trip to Alaska in June. I saw lots of wildlife including at least one eagle.

If you depart or arrive in Vancouver, they are easy along the beaches. We saw them at Spanish Banks, which is west of downtown. They were so common my friend thought they were vultures.
The place where I saw them most easily in Alaska was Haines (one was waiting for us when we pulled into port early). Also in Ketchikan at Totem Bight there was a random fly-by. But they weren't really as common as sparrows. There may be excursions you can book which go to known hangouts.
Or you an check "ebird.com" for sightings if you want to DIY.
