IWS biologists, go to the Two Harbors nest on Catalina Island, to get the two 8-week old eaglets, to put bands and 'wingblings' on them, as well as take blood samples to test for contamination, determine the gender, etc. Look for part 2, when they'll be returned to thenest. 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 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 z7.invisionfree.com
