Eagle Eyed

Catch of the Day

Maybe you can use this. My wife took this while I was cleaning halibut last week in Seldovia AK.

That fricken bird's stare was INTENSE! I thought I was gonna have to fend him off with my fillet knife. While we were cleaning the fish there were about 20 eagles, a couple sea otters, 2 river otters and a mink, all looking for handouts.

What a great picture! Many of you city folk are probably not aware that should that bird drop a tail feather, and should Rob pick it up and stick it in his hat band, he goes to prison.

So, currently, and I mean RIGHT NOW, I've a duck in my backyard. That's a first. Fine looking bird too, and quite placid.; 5/12/07, 10:28 AM

Also the reference to the 25,000 fine for illegal possession of an eagle feather...flush a Koran down the toilet and it's a federal investigation; defile a crucifix and nothing happens.
I lived in Alaska for six years doing aviation weather... they have some pretty wacky laws pertaining to wildlife. Our favorite way to cross the tundra was by "dirt" bike. On one memorable occasion after walking out from our fish camp to our bikes, a friend of mine found that his Kawasaki had had it's gas tank mauled (almost eaten) by a Grizzly bear. When a state ranger found out about it, because the bike had a plastic gas tank, he tried to bring him up on charges of deliberately feeding a bear a toxic substance. I kid you not.; 5/12/07, 10:37 AM

Anonymous said...: I watched a PETA protestor at a hunter's check in station get arrested for having such a feather hanging from her car mirror ...

The fish and game person demanded it, brought in a cop to back him up. She felt that such wildlife regs didn't apply to her, and resisted.

Heh ... they threw the book at her, and seized and sold her car.; 5/12/07, 3:17 PM

Want recipes?

Does it cook up like Spotted Owl?; 5/12/07, 10:03 PM

Anonymous said...: If you boil your owl,cook it til the beak removes easily and the eyes are opaque and gelatinous.At that point your owl will be tender enough to run thru a meat grinder...Bon appetit!; 5/13/07, 7:40 AM

They were swarming over a peanut field that had been recently harvested and me and a friend shot 2 of them with 12 gauges...they crashed like C-130s. Roasted over an open fire, they weren't bad, but I'd be an unhappy camper if I paid for such a meal in a diner.

Oh yeah..."endangered species," my aching ass. Those things are everywhere.; 5/13/07, 11:42 AM
