<\/a>RUSH: Do you remember the story<\/a> we did out of Homer, Alaska, on the banning of the eagle feeding? I guess tour operators would have people go up to Homer with cameras and you could feed the eagles up there and get close and get pictures of them. And not long ago the city council of Homer banned all this, and the reason, it was reported — now, help me out with my memory here. The reason they did it was, it was hurting the eagles, it was demeaning the eagles. That\u2019s right, they were turning the national symbol of this country, the national bird, into a blue state welfare recipient. But that wasn\u2019t what was happening, because the eagles performed. I mean, they weren\u2019t just, you know, filled with sloth out there. They weren\u2019t just lazy bums. They were actually performing. They are allowing their pictures to be taken, and essentially posing. Well, there was one exception to the ban on eagle feeding up there, and we\u2019re talking about hundreds of eagles. The one exception was a woman named Jean Keene<\/a>, and she\u2019s the eagle lady, and she\u2019s 80. It didn\u2019t mention much about her in the story. Well, I got in the mail today, her book<\/a>. I got the eagle lady\u2019s book. It\u2019s a combination autobiography and photo journal, and it has some of the most amazing pictures of her eagles and where she lives. <\/p>\n

She drives a pickup. She lives in a trailer right out there in the area, and these eagles just flock every morning in the winter, and have been for 25 years. The pictures in here are just amazing. I got a letter from the person who wrote the text in the book named Cary Anderson. I wasn\u2019t surprised to learn that there is a real story about the banning of the feeding of eagles that wasn\u2019t told in the AP account. Mr. Anderson writes, “This controversy was started and fueled by a man up here who feeds flocks of sandhill cranes on his Homer-area property. Also keeps Canada geese at his home. He clips their wings so they can\u2019t fly away. One day, a bald eagle took a swipe at his geese and his cranes. A goose was killed by an eagle. This made the guy spitting mad so he worked tirelessly to vilify eagles. He went so far as to claim eagles might even attack the local children. In the end, with practically no community support, he successfully lobbied city council members to outlaw eagle feeding. Thankfully he was not successful in shutting down the eagle lady who has fed surplus fish to a gathering of hundreds of eagles every winter morning for more than 25 years. ” <\/line><\/a>I wish I could show you the pictures in here. You can get the book. I\u2019ll put a link on the website<\/a> where you can go — I haven\u2019t gone to the website because I\u2019ve got the book. It\u2019s not a big book, but it\u2019s exceptionally well done picture-wise. It\u2019s just an amazing thing to look at these eagles up close and to see how close they\u2019re willing to get to the eagle lady. I\u2019m not surprised. We get this story, “Oh, we\u2019re doing this for the eagles. We\u2019re trying to protect the eagle.” The eagle has become a welfare recipient. It\u2019s a national bird. We can\u2019t allow this to happen. It turns out there\u2019s some local rabble-rouser who got upset because an eagle killed one of his geese. Geese who, by the way, can\u2019t fly because he\u2019s clipped their wings. So he tried to create a panic. <\/line>END TRANSCRIPT<\/line><\/p>\n
