But mostly they wait for the fishing boats to return with the  day’s catch.   Located far out in the Aleutian Islands, this  fishing town of 4,700 processes more fish than any other port in the  country. And fish is the bald eagle’s staple food. So during the fishing  season, hundreds of eagles come to scavenge and nest in the area,  creating a nuisance for the local people. The eagles guard their nest  fiercely and anybody appearing even remotely as a threat is attacked  mercilessly.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-u4GwuKw_hzs/WtWqBtMuJeI/AAAAAAABWoA/UI1VS1s1qzoAPLxNhl3GZG_rhUkwBUX2gCHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-410?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   Lt. Andres Ayures,  a U.S. Coast Guard on his third day in Unalaska, was chased down the  side of a mountain by a bald eagle. The bird swooped at him repeatedly,  ripped his hood off his head, and forced him to the ground. It even  stole the cell phone that fell out of his pocket.   About a dozen people are sent to the hospital every year with lacerated wounds.But  this also makes Unalaska an excellent place to watch and photograph the  country’s national symbol up close. The locals call them Dutch Harbor  pigeons, as they are found mostly around the harbor. They also hang  around the town’s landfill, where they gather to feed opportunistically.  When fresh fish  isn’t available, the birds will anything with meat —seagulls, ducks,  squirrels, mice, the occasional raven, and human leftovers. It’s  actually a kind of sad seeing the nation’s pride being reduced to  scavengers.   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-dqx8QtkKgdw/WtWqCt5C-4I/AAAAAAABWoE/uX8ftjHqTOUEZLF6DienVw7R_uSreoO7QCHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-26?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-trH6BieZEig/WtWqDhMai5I/AAAAAAABWoI/wKxc8TFgInMf6uu_5lz6mz4PmL4VcleSwCHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-12?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-wR8hQbXJOJM/WtWqExFfYyI/AAAAAAABWoM/sx634Fw_qWEBXQzlhfeYlA2SRdHGR2jcACHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-32?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-zGZeT1emzs4/WtWqG8o3BpI/AAAAAAABWoQ/eUGnivyQCIoQFDzLb7jj1OJbPPYreI7LgCHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-52?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />   <img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-sUxgGMBoQj0/WtWqIGz2WJI/AAAAAAABWoU/xLHh7n42Ai0Zv5lYGyKcxpZivQl8PA-GgCHMYCw/bald-eagles-unalaska-62?imgmax=1600" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
