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.

I'm sure she is soaring with the Eagles. Fly in Peace, Jean.

Even though I never had the opportunity to meet her, she was very much an inspiration for my developing a relationship with my neighborhood eagles - Fred & Ethel. So I post my favorite image of them here in tribute and thanks to Jean.
