Homer's 'Eagle Lady' dead at 85
Jean Keene, the 85-year-old "Eagle Lady" whose feeding program draws hundreds of bald eagles and scores of nature photographers to the Homer Spit each winter, died Tuesday evening in her Spit home.

Jean was a great lady, full of personality and spirit. I managed to photograph in her "yard" three different times starting back in 1998. Her passion for the eagles was unequaled. On my last visit I managed to snag an autographed copy of her biography written by a local Homer photographer/writer. She will be missed not only by the eagles but by hundreds of photographers she befriended.
