Dancers at the Flight For Freedom Eagle Release , Haines, Alaska
We were honored to have the Chilkat Dancers dance at the Eagle Release with our Mayor of Haines, Jan Hill! The release took place in the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve here in Haines, Alaska! This is the 21st Annual celebration during the Alaska Bald Eagle Festival which takes place at the American Bald Eagle Foundation, Plan to attend the Festival highlight next year - the rehabilitated eagle release at the Preserve at 1:30 on Saturday. We have confirmed we have at least two Eagles to release this year!! The release will take place at 19 mile. Anyone may bid in the annual Flight For Freedom auction for the honor of releasing one of these magnificent birds back into the wild! This year we are honored to have the Chilkat Dancers dancing in a ceremony to release our Eagles back to the wild. details at baldeaglefestival.org
