WE Gals Fight Over a Fish

K01 brings an orange fish to the nest where one of his 2 mates (Wray) is tending their new egg. Soon afterwards, they both begin calling and going into a defensive stance and we see a 3rd eagle fly up from behind the nest. It's K01's other mate, Dianna, coming after the fish. K01 & Wray don't want to share it, however, and a full-fledged food fight ensues.

These eagles are part of the ongoing restoration project by IWS. 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 nests to view on Catalina Island and Santa Cruz Island or go to: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?act=idx
