Bird watching along Coastal Alaska. It is believed that some 294 species of birds can be found in Alaska of which many are year round residents of the shores of the S.E. panhandle. If your interested in identifying the “Birds of Alaska” be sure to pick up one of the brochures from a visitors booth on the ship about birding and bird watching in Alaska.
Seabirds spend most of their time searching for food in the marine waters and come ashore only to rest or to breed. Thousands of seabirds nest on cliffs and rocky shores within the bay or on the park’s outer coast. Molting and migrating geese and sea ducks find refuge in quiet arms of the bay. Bald eagles nest in tall cottonwood trees or on cliffs along much of the park’s shoreline. Newly vegetated hillsides support great numbers of nesting songbirds, including many neotropical migrants. The shallow waters and sloping beaches of the Beardslee Islands are important foraging and breeding areas for shorebirds, seabirds, and waterfowl. Arctic terns and jaegers prefer the barren glacial outwashes near the glaciers for nest sites.
