It's Nesting Season for the Bald Eagles in the Channel Islands
Follow their progress with Eagle Cams.
by seagreen Thursday 05-Mar-2009
Bald eagles were once permanent residents of Channel Islands National Park. Historical records indicate that bald eagles bred on all islands within the park, with at least two dozen nesting pairs over the 8 Channel Islands. Persecution by humans and the effects of organochlorine chemicals such as DDT eliminated breeding bald eagles on the Channel Islands by the mid-1950's.

In 2002 the park began to introduce juvenile bald eagles to the northern Channel Islands. 2006 marked the first successful bald eagle nest on the Channel Islands in over 50 years.

Cool!

Very cool! The second site even has a streaming bird nest camera. I hope they make a strong comeback.
