Meanwhile, in Alaska…

Bald eagles are attacking people.  Is that some kind of patriotic sign?  Or not patriotic?

At Kodiak’s St. Herman Harbor, several bald eagle attacks have been reported, according to a July 17th article on Alaska Public Media, and locals were advised to stay vigilant. While rare, these incidents resulted in some people needing stitches. U.S. Fish and Wildlife is still investigating, but it’s suspected that the eagles are drawn to the area by the abundance of dead fish and food scraps, and maybe people feeding them. For now, be extra cautious when walking on L and M floats. Remember, these raptors usually aren’t this aggressive, so this situation is quite unusual.

You just can’t predict wildlife–even the flying wildlife.
