Bird Watching
The Anchor River has a delta area near the mouth which supports a variety of birds. The bald eagles are permanent residents, while other bird species migrate through at different times. The Sand Hill cranes, geese and ducks arrive in the spring (May) and again in the fall (September). Several species of ducks call the river their summer home along with snipes, gulls, kittiwakes and loons. The Top of the Rock Lodge is centrally located so you never have to go far to experience nature at its best. The Kenai flats are one hour away, Homer is 20 minutes south. You can also take tours that will get you up close and
personal. Four wheeler and boat tours are recommended. A favorite
easy boat tour will bring you to Gull island. Gull island is a bird
sanctuary. Early May through July there are thousands of kittiwakes,
gulls, cormorants and puffins that nest here. The island is near the
end of the Homer Spit, so it does not long to get there. Most tours
cost $39.00 to $59.00. ** See my special hint under fishing
