Nothing Like a Fish to Revive

Mom (K26) brings a much-needed fish to the nest for her eaglet, A63. A63 charges instantly and grabs the fish....then wishes that Mom would just leave. Mom is not easily intimidated and does a little tidying up of the nest before leisurely hopping up to the middle branch and then the E-branch at the back of the nest. A63 continues to try to get her to leave and ends up getting his talons caught in some of the sticks while hopping around carrying the fish in one talon. He finally gives up and eats the fish while mom watches.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 3 nests to view.... 2 are on Catalina Island and 1 on Santa Cruz Island or go to z7.invisionfree.com
