Jean Keene ... The Eagle Lady This page is dedicated in the memory of Jean Keene, who passed away Jan 13th 2009. Jean was a kind and warm hearted individual and for those of us that had the privilledge to meet her will not soon forget. ------- Several years ago I had the opportunity (thanks to some wonderful friends, and outstanding photographers Harry & Mira Fox) to visit Alaska and to photograph the eagles of Homer. Hard for me to believe that I would be heading North to Alaska in the wintry month of February, but that was exactly what I did. Homer, Alaska had become known in nature photographers circles as the premier locations for photographing bald eagles up close. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Homer attracting so many bald eagles during the winter, and becoming a world class destination for nature photographers the world over, is that this remarkable occurrence exits mainly because of one lady's love and absolute dedication to her eagles. That special lady is Jean Keene. Jean moved to Alaska in 1977. Soon after her arrival in Homer, she began feeding the eagles that wintered in the area. Jean has continuously fed the wintering eagles for three decades. When Jean starts her seasonal feeding of the the eagles, (Jean will feed the eagles from mid December to late March depending on the weather conditions) she will put out approximately 500 lbs. of fish, each and every day, in good weather and in bad for the eagles to feed. What Jean does for her eagles in just one single day's feeding is an incredibly task, but when one considers that she has done this non-stop for thirty years, it becomes an absolutely astonishing accomplishment!     Jean has fed and helped thousands of Alaskan Bald Eagles through the difficult Alaskan winters. Without a doubt in my mind, I found that a unique and special relationship exits between Jean and her Eagles. I was privileged to be there. Thank you Jean!       Jean has given so much over the years, and so many of us have benefited. If you would like to assist in the purchasing of fish for the feeding of the eagles, a contribution can be made to this address: Jean Keene Box 1932 Homer, AK 99603   Click here to visit our Eagle Photography Galleries. Jean's dedication and passion for her eagles has given the world the rare opportunity to see and experience these magnificent birds up close.       Cary Anderson has written a wonderful book about Jean Keene, to order Cary's book .... click here.
