Travis Russell figures serving as state park ranger in Haines involves three seasons: summer, bald eagle season, and skiing season.
The eagles start arriving as summer winds down, and when the eagle numbers start to dwindle, it’s time to start making tracks for local skiers, he said.
Russell, 35, was recently chosen as Haines ranger. His responsibilities include the Alaska Chilkat Bald Eagle Preserve and state campgrounds at Chilkat State Park, Chilkoot Lake
