The majestic American bald eagle is a rare sight for most people, and many Americans will never get to see one within their lifetimes. But in coastal Alaskan towns, there are bald eagles aplenty. Eagles follow the fish to the beaches, so around fishing areas is a great place to see the birds flock in droves to dine. These beaches are great places to see bald eagles.

To many people, the American bald eagle is a symbol of strength and majesty. Most people don't often have the chance to see eagles up close, but wild animal sightings are a perk of living in this great land.
