老鹰集会(A convocation of eagles assembles)

每年11月，多达4000只秃鹰会降落在阿拉斯加海恩斯附近的奇尔卡特河上，以在河的“平地”产卵后不久死亡的鲑鱼和鲑鱼为食。这是鸟类和观鸟者的盛宴，因为猛禽撕咬着源源不断的美味鱼类。它是世界上最大的老鹰集会，因此阿拉斯加秃鹰节是庆祝它的节日。该活动以现场猛禽演示、教育节目、导游徒步旅行和现场音乐为特色。

Each November as many as 4,000 bald eagles descend on the Chilkat River near Haines, Alaska, to feed on the late run of chum and coho salmon that have died shortly after spawning in the ‘flats’ of the river. It’s a feast for birds and birders alike, as the raptors tear into a never-ending supply of tasty fish. It’s the largest congregation of eagles in the world, and as such is celebrated by the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival. The event features live raptor demonstrations, educational programs, guided hikes, and live music.
