As have many of you, we have been intently watching the Bald Eagle pair at Sauces Canyon on Santa Cruz Island. We are disheartened to see that the most recent eggs broke yesterday. We do not know why the eggs keep breaking, but will continue to monitor the nest and further investigate the cause. We will attempt to collect prey samples and eggshell fragments and analyze them for contaminant levels and eggshell thinning. Although this is an unfortunate situation for this pair, we are encouraged by their successful nesting in 2016 and the continued recovery of the Bald Eagle population across the Channel Islands. Thank you to all the dedicated web cam viewers for your observations and concern for the pair.

Were does the time go ... i have been checking in when i can ... here is an update.

Sauces Nest
The pair continue to visit their nest; hopefully A48 and A40 can use the balance of the season to recover from the loss of 8 eggs this year.

West End
There was an human intrusion into their territory yesterday ... and they have chicks on their nest ... despite signage this individual entered an active nesting area ... shame on him i hope they are able to locate him and fine him! The birds were very upset!

Here is a video that Jann put together; thank you Jann
