High hopes for Brackendale bald eagles

The bald eagle population in Brackendale nearSquamish, B.C., has been dwindling recently, but some are hoping this will be a banner year for the annual count.

Many attribute the diminishing population to shrinking salmon runs.

But with a few strong salmon runs this year, eagle watchers hope to see the birds return.

As the CBC's Tim Weekes learns, the BrackendaleArt Gallery will hold the eagle count on Jan. 5, 2014.
