In the heart of the pristine Chilkat River Valley in Alaska, a rare wildlife phenomenon occurs. Each November as many as four thousand bald eagles gather to dine on a late season salmon run in this small pristine section of southeast Alaska. It's called the Chilkat Eagle Phenomenon and this incredible gathering is among the finest natural wildlife spectacles in the world. It is also threatened by a proposed mining project, the largest ever in North America, in nearby by Canada.
This is the first in-depth look at this phenomenon and the controversy surrounding the mining project. Narrated by acclaimed actor Richard Kiley. Original music composed by international recording artist Chris Spheeris. Alaska's Bald Eagle was produced in association with The Duncan Group.
