When most people picture Alaska, wildlife is almost always on the mind. Bears, eagles, moose, salmon, whales…bears! Juneau, Alaska has a wide variety of wildlife options. While moose are very rarely seen in the area, most other Alaskan animals are commonly found (on purpose and on accident).
Bears
Black bears are everywhere in Juneau, Alaska. They are quite well known for eating salmon, blueberries and trash cans. We often hear them roaming the neighborhoods looking for something to eat. Juneau has a lot of unique rules to help keep the bears wild. Knowing where they like to venture can help you get a great photo, but then again, you just might run across one while driving through town.
Eagles!
The bald eagle is a majestic bird with an iconic look. Juneau has one of the most dense populations on earth. In fact, if you don’t see an eagle while you’re here, you probably never opened your eyes. With that said, knowing the right location at the right time is imperative to get the best photos of these majestic birds.
