The eagles have landed in droves at Goldstream Provincial Park.

B次元官网网址淓very year we have the eagles that come after the salmon run but this year there seems to be more than previous years,B次元官网网址� said park naturalist Bre Robinson.

The flock has more than doubled from the 65 last year to 158 counted last Thursday.

They scan the park with binoculars as a head count, but figure thereB次元官网网址檚 even more.

B次元官网网址淭hose juveniles camouflage quite well so IB次元官网网址檓 sure we missed some,B次元官网网址� Robinson said.

The theory is that a lack of rain caused the jump in eagles this year.

B次元官网网址淯sually we get a big rain and it washes all the salmon carcasses out into the ocean,B次元官网网址� Robinson said, adding the eagle run is often forgotten in the wake of the salmon run. B次元官网网址淭he eagles will be here about another week or so right up to Christmas.B次元官网网址�

While the abundance of rotting flesh brings extra birds to watch, naturally thereB次元官网网址檚 some odour to prepare for when visiting.

B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檙e calling it the smell of success,B次元官网网址� Robinson said.
