PH - K10's Busy Morning

K10 flies in and out, bringing long sticks & arranging them on his Pelican Harbor nest on Santa Cruz Island in preparation for the upcoming nesting season.

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

Whoa - looks like one of the sticks grabbed K10 in the first few seconds there! LOL

I saw that. It's not easy building a nest, as we've seen the past couple of years.

Thank you!  :)

p.s. Sorry to hear about your migraines! :(

The IWS discussion forum has done a lot of research on these eagles. Check it out when you're able....especially the second towards the bottom called "ALL EAGLES ALL THE TIME".

Wow! That is really interesting. Thank you for the info.  I need to do research and find out more, but I have migraines and don't get to do a lot that I would like to do. Thank you again for answering.

K10 hatched in 2001. His mate, K26, hatched a year later in 2002. Both were hatched at the San Francisco Zoo and fostered into Catalina Island nests when they were about a week old.

Do you happen to know how old this Eagle is (an his mate)?

[HulaBunee]

Yes, he is. I love the way he takes it all in stride, whether it be the wind blowing him over or beaking with K26. He just makes an adjustment and keeps on going.

So diligent!
