Dock users at Kodiak’s biggest boat harbor are being urged to keep an eye out for eagles in the area, as several attacks have been reported in the last week. U.S. Fish and Wildlife staff say this is a rare occurrence, but residents should still be wary when in the area of St. Herman Harbor., warning everyone who is using St. Herman Harbor, also known as Dog Bay, of at least three eagle attacks in a specific area of the dock.
