Above is an eagle, sealion with otter on back and bear totem.looks more like a frog to me. Icy Strait Point and Hoonah, (village by the cliff) was settled by Tlingit Indians after a glacier chased them out of Glacier Bay. Their are two clans, the Eagle clan and the Bear clan. They have to marry outside their clan and have to be careful who they date in the other clan because they maybe to closly related after all this years. We saw lots of eagles and lots of whales, but none of them close enough to get good pictures. The whales were close enough to be plainly heard when they came up to blow. unfortunately all they looked like to the camera was floatin logs. The water fall below was one of many we passed on our walk into town.
This is a young eagle sitting on a levee being babysat by a small bird, probably keeping an eye on him so he wouldn't get to close to its nest.
A couple of lovely seascapes to close.
