Brian Hard told The Anchorage Daily News a large bird swooped down Monday afternoon. “It was a beautiful day and I was quite content, when all of a sudden I had this sensation of eagle grabbing on, sinking a talon into my head,” he said. “When it hit me, I kind of ducked down and its trajectory took it back up. I sort of looked up and its wings were spread; I had the sensation of being shaded. Looked like a young eagle to me.” Hard says he feared a second attack before he made it about 100 yards to the home where he is staying.
