That's No Parent! That's an Intruder!

Ten tense minutes as A63 sees a strange bald eagle first fly close behind the nest and then land on the 'patio' area of the nest just out of camera range. See the companion video that shows A27 returning to the nest later in the day, actually landing on the nest (twice) and stealing food from the nest: http://youtube.com/watch?v=edUPuj8FHRs In February, a sub-adult from the same IWS release group came to the nest, challenging K10 for the fish he caught. You can see that encounter on this video: http://youtube.com/watch?v=oFAYatJh3oc 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 3 nests to view.... 2 are on Catalina Island and 1 on Santa Cruz Island or go to: http://z7.invisionfree.com/CHIL_EagleCAM/index.php?act=idx
