Anchor Point Alaska

After talking to the owner of the Rock Garden Inn, where we are staying in Homer, she informed us that we could probably see eagles at a stretch of beach about 20 miles from Homer called Anchor Point. At this beach there is a company that launches and retrieves fishing boats from the Cook inlet. You would think you could just back a boat on its trailer into the water to launch or retrieve it but the ocean presents a different set of challenges. Back to the eagles, she informed us that the fishing boats would come in and discard the fish carcasses into the water after cleaning the fish and that the eagles congregate there to feed on the scraps. Well part of the scenario was fact the boats were there but we never saw any eagles feeding on scraps. All was not lost though, there were eagles there but not at the numbers she told us.
