K26 brings a black bird to the nest to feed her 4-week old chick. The bird is only wounded and tries to make an escape at 1:50. K26 recaptures the bird. A warning for the squemish, it gets a bit graphic at 2:22; but remember, it is a matter of survival.
You can read about the struggle to reintroduce America's symbol, the Bald Eagle, to the Channel Islands as well as watch this miracle of nature via live eagle-cam by going to http://www.iws.org and clicking first on 'interactive' and then choosing one of the 3 nests to view.... 2 are on Catalina Island and 1 on Santa Cruz Island or go to: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?act=idx
