The bird is a REGULAR here. Who are YOU?

Explanation From Original OP:

Yuri Lisyansky was the commanding officer of the Neva, which between 1803 and 1806 participated in the first Russian circumnavigation of the Earth.

During a stop on Kodiak island, Alaska Lisyansky wrote of the following experience with the native peoples of the island.

April 9, 1805:

“The next day I removed to another settlement not far distant, where I was again obliged by the weather to pass the night. In the evening, I was amused by a tame eagle, which flew into the barabara, and at sun-set placed itself by the fireside, as orderly as if it had been one of the family. After warming itself, and deliberately adjusting its feathers, it fell asleep. This bird, they say, is so sagacious that it will recognize at sea the bidarkas belonging to its master, and on seeing them return from fishing, will follow them home. The people of [Kodiak] keep tame eagles for the sake of the feathers, which they use for arrows.”

I find this account incredibly fascinating because it’s the closest thing I have ever found to falconry amongst native American peoples.
