Eagles having lunch.

A fishing net got put out to be repaired and the eagles came. They pick all the fish out of the net. This little video camera blurs if I zoom in so I didn't zoom in on this video(except at the end on the one with the big piece of fish)-this is how close the eagles let us get to them.

@Staytheredoggy @ricefarmer According to the tags, this was filmed at Dutch Harbor in Unalaska, Alaska. And when I looked up fishing there, they fish for Pacific Halibut, which is one of the sustainable species of fish. So, I think your concerns are misplaced.

Really, can we have one YouTube video that isn't beset by an activist sobbing about how sad and wrong the video is? Come on. Let's enjoy how awesome it is to see eagles getting along so well with humans.

@gcpreda No way, man! Those eagles are used to humans. Have you seen pla1554alaska's other videos? She's got one video of a pair of eagles hanging out on her balcony, and she was standing one foot away from it. Didn't get spooked at all.

I used to live in Alaska. I just love your footage of the eagles. Thank you for sharing and please keep sharing!

[SnowKitzMuhahaha]

That's amazing. The closest I've been to a bald eagle was at the zoo.

Cool video, I've only ever seen two Bald Eagles where I live.

Would be nice if they could've filmed this from more of a distance, and while making less noise, so the eagles don't get spooked while chowing down.
