24th Annual Brackendale Winter Eagle Festival : Natural World Lecture Series 2

David Hancock: Eagles, Web Cams, and our Salmon Dependent Ecosystem!  David Hancock will discuss the changes in numbers of eagles in the lower mainland and the Brackendale area and ‘try to be optimistic’ about the eagles’ future. With eagles and orcas feeding heavily on salmon, the prospects are not all rosy.
