		This behavior was precluded at the Chilkoot River nest by the lack of suitable perching branches close to the nest.
		The movements of the Chilkoot River eaglets were most likely influenced by the abundance of pink salmon carcasses located on the tidal flats over one kilometer from the nest and the large number of other adult and immature eagles observed feeding on the carcasses.
		Although the Chilkoot River eaglets were initially observed trying to catch and eat the pink salmon running up the river, the eaglets soon joined the majority of other eagles on the tidal flats and began to steal their food or forage on carrion.

		River Adventures can run its jetboat tours in critical Upper Chilkat River salmon habitat, according to a ruling by Department of Natural Resources commissioner Tom Irwin.
		River Adventures’ big jetboats produce wakes "10 times greater than that created by smaller boats," and create "larger shear stress and energy dissipation than naturally occur along the Chilkat River banks," Fish and Game wrote.
		River Adventures owner Karen Hess said she doesn’t agree with Irwin’s decision because access to the Upper Chilkat should be based on the depth of the river channel rather than a specific date.

		Chilkat blankets were the specialty of the Chilkat tribe of the Tlingit, whose territory was at the mouth of the Chilkat River in southeast Alaska.
		This group refined the style to its highest level in the late nineteenth century, but it had initially been developed among the Tsimshian-speaking people who lived along the Skeena and Nass Rivers on the mainland and had easy access to mountain goats in their hunting territories.
		Although Chilkat blankets have many design variations, the most favoured one on those owned by the Haida is a double-profile view of Konankada in the guise of a Killer Whale, flanked by two profile Ravens.

		The Chilkat River is at the northern end of the Inside Passage and contains several of the earliest spawning salmon runs of the entire coast.
		When the Chilkat and other northern rivers freeze up, the easy food supply diminishes, and the eagles begin to move south where the later spawning salmon are becoming available.
		Heralded as the “Valley of Eagles,” Haines is the focal point for accessing the 48,000 acres of The Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, created in 1982 and encompassing the bottom land of the Klenhini, Tsirku and Chilkat Rivers.

	RIDOLFI Inc. - Jilkaat Kwaan Heritage Center and Bald Eagle Observatory, Chilkat Indian Village, Klukwan, AK
		Here in Klukwan, the river flows all winter long and remains ice-free as a result of the geothermal warm springs that prevent ice from forming.
		The word Chilkat, in the Tlingit language means "storage container for salmon." This name was given because the Chilkat River has an upwelling of warm springs that keep the river from freezing over in the winter months.
		A primary goal of the Chilkat Indian Village is to construct and operate the Jilkaat Kwaan Cultural Heritage Center and Bald Eagle Observatory in order to address the community's needs for cultural preservation and enrichment, and for community and economic development.

		Photographs taken in 2001 show significant bank erosion is occuring in the Upper Chilkat River where a commercial jet boat tour operates.
		An Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG) sponsored study on the Chilkat River in 2002 determined that large commercial jet boat wakes hit the banks with 10 times the force of smaller boats operated by traditional users and ADFG staff.
		In the Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve, an area designated to protect and perpetuate eagles and their salmon food source, commercial jet boats use twin 150 horsepower jet engines and carry up to 32 passengers.

		Biologists are at work on a two-year, $200,000 radio-tagging study of Chilkat sockeye that could shed light on the mystery of precisely where the fish spawn and what they do while en route.
		Since the fish have stopped eating by the time they reach the river to spawn, the transmitter doesn’t interfere with their ability to survive.
		All fish tagged have continued their journeys up the river, confirming the harmlessness of the method, he said.

		Five miles of the Chilkat River remains ice-free all winter long due to warm water that percolates into the river from the "alluvial fan reservoir." The fan receives water faster than it can flow out, creating a huge reservoir of water that remains 10 to 20 degrees warmer than the river.
