Welfare Check
Officers responded three times to a residence
where an intoxicated occupant repeatedly called the police for
assistance with unspecified problems, and then insisted that they leave
once they arrived on scene. No criminal activity was observed.
Theft
An intoxicated caller reported a possible theft.
The caller was unable to articulate why she thought there was a theft
and hung up the phone.
Assistance Rendered
Caller reported being attacked by swooping eagles.
She was afraid to move for fear of injury. Officers responded to
assist. As the officers arrived, the sun set. The eagles seemed to lose
interest in the caller once it was dark. She was able to continue
walking down the hill unmolested by her feathered attackers.
Sportfishing
Caller reported individuals “dip-netting” in the
“Church Hole.” Officers responded and found that two German tourists
were filming the salmon underwater using GoPros on a pole.
Traffic/Roads
Officers investigated a possible oversized
trailer. The trailer was under water when an officer arrived on scene
and its dimensions could not be immediately ascertained.
Suspicious Person/Activity
Officer investigated some blinking lights on a piece of heavy equipment. Nothing was found to be amiss.
Animals
Caller reported that someone was feeding the
eagles causing a hazard as one of the eagles had flown into her truck.
Officers investigated and discovered that the eagles were not being fed
but were congregating, as eagles are known to do.

Eagles swooping at her because nest nearby maybe? Had to do faceplant in FL once because unbeknownst to us hikers there was an owl nest next to the trail.
Eagles' nests (aeries) tend to be a high altitude, higher than other predators can fly, for protection. More likely they were protecting a food source. Baldies are scavengers.
In thinking of your oversized underwater vehicle I remember a passenger once asking me if the Shorts Sherpa could land on water (given it's odd shape). I said sure - but only once!
Any landing you can swim away from, eh? :)
I wonder what would happen if they ever dried out up there??? :-)
That is a pretty splendid list. Were that all of our issues were this relatively simple and amusing.
NFO, it's hard to imagine Unalaska life without the ongoing struggles with liquor. It would be almost unimaginably different.
TB, the fact that the Unalaska PD is willing to be so patient with the residents must hark back to the days when cops were "peace officers", taking care of people and gently herding them back into line. Sheriff Andy Taylor would have done well there.
