These adult bald eagles perched on tree on Pennock Island near Ketchikan were surveying the Tongass Narrows for prey while their hungry eaglet waited patiently by the nest (off camera). This pair will mate for life and use the same nest for years. Bald eagles are a common sight in Alaska. Approximately 25,000 live in the southeast portion of the state. They tend to be much larger than other eagles found across North America.
