Information about the West End Nest The nest that can be viewed on-line is part of the Channel Islands Bald Eagle Restoration Project conducted by the Institute for Wildlife Studies (IWS) and funded by the Montrose Settlements Restoration Program and generous donations from viewers like you. First established in 1991, this nest, called the West End nest, is rare in that there were three eagles (two females and a male) cooperatively breeding here from 1992 through 2006. The original male disappeared before the 2006 breeding season at the age of 25 years old. He was replaced by a 6-year-old male (#01) in 2006. The two females were hacked onto the island in 1986. One female K-69) disappeared at the beginning of the 2008 breeding season. The nest, located on a rock pinnacle at a remote location on Santa Catalina Island, California, has been monitored since 1991 by IWS biologists using closed-circuit camera systems. |
