Re: Close encounters
I used to live in Ketchikan, Alaska. Bald Eagles were just a prevalent as sea gulls. It was kinda of sad to see the huge flocks of eagles at the landfill. They are scavengers, and loved picking through the garbage with the ravens and gulls.
When fishing, if you pulled up a bottom fish, the air bladder would poke out of their mouth cuz you would be fishing in about 150+' of water, and if you threw it back they would float on the water. Suddenly, out of nowhere, and eeirily quiet, a bald eagle would swoop down and pluck that floater right out of the water right next to the boat. Freaked me out the first time, but I always looked forward to throwing the small ones back after that.
