The Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵEnvironment Society held its annual Eagle Watch Opening Ceremony on Sunday at Eagle Run Dike in Brackendale. Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵNation representatives, former mayor Patricia Heintzman and Brackendale Art Gallery owner Thor Froslev led the ceremony.Ìý

The bald eagles return to Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵevery November because of the ideal winter habitat.ÌýLarge trees are perfect for perching and roosting, and spawning salmon provide food.

The eagles remain in Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵuntil early February when the salmon finish spawning. The amount of eagles depends on food supply, the weather and any human disturbances. In 1994, a total of 3,769 bald eagles arrived in the Ó£ÌÒÊÓƵValley – a world record.
