There s a new bald eagle wrangler in Unalaska.
That s right: The island has volunteers who, under a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service permit, help rescue injured eagles or salvage dead ones.
Normally, local fisheries biologist Brianna McGrath heads a group of four volunteers to do the job. But nearly all of them are leaving the island for the summer a busy time for pulling eagles out of warehouses or rescuing injured ones from Unalaska s docks and local spit.
That s where Megan Dean comes in.
McGrath tapped Dean as Unalaska s newest raptor wrangler to help bridge the summer gap in volunteers.
