When Dad (K10) brings a fish to his Pelican Harbor nest on Santa Cruz Island, his two chicks rush him to grab it. The younger of the two (Spirit), gets it first and tries to swallow it whole like it did a couple days ago. When that doesn't work, it begins the slower task of tearing off small bits to eat. Meanwhile Dad finds a piece of tough nestovers (leftovers in the nest) and begins feeding the older chick (Skye).These eaglets 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/CHI...
