There was a wonderful lady in Homer. AK who fed the eagles during the hard part of winter. She was a legend

Jessie Peck has many bald eagle friends when he walks out on the deck of this fishing boat in Dutch Harbor, Alaska with a pan full of fresh fish. At first you see a few eagles on deck… then the camera pans around and WOW! There must be a hundred of them perched all over the boat and flying above. As an added bonus we hear the music “Free Bird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd playing. For all of us bald eagle fans it just doesn’t get much better than this!! Wouldn’t you love to be there in person?
“Hey buddy,we’ll tell you when we think we’ve had enough.”
VERY cool. It’s like NYC and pigeons, but with bald eagles. I was wondering if one would take food from the guy’s hand. Didn’t happen.
Just wait until someone gets all upset that he making wild eagles not afraid of humans and that they’ll get used to him feeding them and forget how to hunt for themselves.
Never mind he’s feeding that whole bunch from one little bowl and they are the ones who made friends with him.
wow
That was my first thought. Some federal agency will come after him for messing with eagles.
Awesome!
Watched our Am Eagles soaring on the Connecticut River the other day. Magnificent critters. I love that they have made a come-back here, in southern New England. Some are even nesting down here. A good sign, especially if you are a birder. :)
SOMEHOW, someone will find a way to get REALLY angry about this.
SOMEHOW he’s harming the eagles, tricking them.
Animals are ALWAYS good, Man is ALWAYS bad.
This complainer is therefore MUCH better than you, much better than me.
I like bald eagles, and every once in awhile will see one in our neighborhood.
I forget what the Alaskan locals call them - flying rats or something. I thought it was odd - but I guess too much of anything can get to be a hassle.
I was on cruise to Alaska and an excursion I was on the boat stopped at a shore and the crew proceeded to throw out a certain fish and all of sudden there were 100’s of Bald Eagles flying all around us and it was just amazing.
We have one near the Lake that fishes on our side. Awesome! We drove down art 17 towards NYC a few years ago in Roscoe NY, and one soared over us. A couple of years later we drove back that way and I told My Wife, here’s where we saw the Eagle....Cue the Eagle, right over the car again!
Why is his name spelled like a girl’s?
Fun video, thanks for posting. We often see Bald Eagles in Central NY - they are worthy of being America’s Mascot!
There are plenty bald eagles around Naples and Everglades City Florida
And Captiva and Sanibel
In Naples they compete with all the private jets in season
Every 15 minutes near downtown bringing the Port Royal crowd in

I couldn’t believe he was holding out the food for the eagle to eat from his hand.
My thought was *How stupid can you be?!?! What a way to very likely lose a couple fingers.*
awesome
While kayaking a river in Maryland, suddenly three bald eagles swooped down over us and landed on a tree a few hundred feet downriver. As we got there, they would take flight and fly another few hundred yards.
This went on for a couple miles.
It was really cool.
Awesome! I never imagined that there are so many Bald Eagles located all together in the same area. It’s an amazing video. Thank you for sharing. :)
Amazing that eyes tuned for seeing tiny stuff from thousands of feet up can still inspect the deck inches away for morsels.
