      Really nice tribute. There were several members of my camera club that met her. A real loss.

      I didn't know her or meet her, but I know Woody did and he spoke highly of her. From what I recall, when she first started to feed the eagles, it was just a few eagles and a rough winter, and it grew from there.

      actually, from wiki:

      Keene's career as the "Eagle Lady" began shortly after her arrival in Homer, when one morning she noticed two bald eagles on the beach near her motorhome. Keene saw offering food to the eagles as a natural extension of her practice of keeping bird feeders filled with sunflower seeds for wild songbirds. She began to bring home surplus fish from her job in a bucket, and each morning would throw some fish to the eagles over the short driftwood fence she had made around her motorhome. By the end of that spring, a half-dozen eagles were showing up for breakfast.

      She was a photographer's best friend. She will be missed. It really is an end to an era as she was the only one left allowed to feed the eagles.

      Thank you for this tribute Jon. She was a friend of mine.
      She will be missed as both the Eagle Lady and a very fine human being. I posted a picture of her for those who would like to know what Jean looked like.

      Thank you for the tribute Jon. She did a wonderful job of helping the eagles in Homer. We have gone down every March for 3 years to take pictures of the eagles as a flickr meetup and are planning one for this March. It will be difficult, but we want to continue to honor her and document the eagles in that area.
