Sometimes a bird gets into your store. In Unalaska, sometimes the bird is an eagle.

Waving long PVC pipes and tossing blankets and pieces of cardboard, local law enforcement, store employees and volunteer Brie McGrath pursued the eagle through the store for over an hour.

The eagle had gotten in through the back of the building, according to Karl Cristobal, who’s been working at the local store for about three years. He said he’s heard of a few eagles getting into the Alaska Ship warehouse, located at the back of the store, in the past. But since he’s been working there, he hadn’t heard of any actually getting inside where customers shop.

This wasn’t the first time in her three years on the island that McGrath has helped rescue a trapped eagle. She’s volunteered to help with several “eagle wranglings.” She said she enjoys helping her feathered friends. This time, though, McGrath said she was worried about how long it was going to take to get the eagle out of the store.

By the end of the night, the eagle wasn’t the only one that seemed exhausted. As McGrath struggled to catch her breath while carrying the large bird outside, it was clear that this was also a battle for her.McGrath said that despite a minor talon injury, the eagle looked good overall and should be just fine.March 5, 2021

KTOOpubmedia How cool is that!? Becareful it doesn’t decide to swoop in and steal your meats or fishes.

KTOOpubmedia . . . anywhere he wants.

KTOOpubmedia That's about the size where you just start feeding it and let them take the building.

KTOOpubmedia The warm fuzzies generated by the article's content were undermined by the link immediately after the article about eagle euthanasia. Maybe some spacing, KTOO?

KTOOpubmedia They should have lured the eagle with fish to make the capture quick and easy. Chasing it with sticks and such seems a poorly thought out course of action.

KTOOpubmedia When I was in college I worked at Walmart in the pet shop and had to catch escaped birds. I got pecked like a mug. My heart goes out to whoever has to try to catch this one. 😂😂😂

US proposes ending rule that weakened wild bird protectionsBiden administration proposes revoking a rule imposed under former Pres. Trump that weakened the government's power to enforce a century-old law that protects most U.S. bird species. Wait wtf? Birds get democracy before people? What about this century old law? Are we going to repeal this other almost century old act? & Pass HR4464... 15 pgs...no pork? If not representation in America is a fallacy. Wait so he didn’t like windmills because they kill birds yet he passed laws that made it harder to protect birds? Sounds like par for the course lol.
