Male K33 was hatched from an egg removed from the Seal Rocks Nest in 1992 and fostered back into the Seal Rocks Nest; female K17 was brought from a nest in California as a chick in 1984 and released on Catalina Island from the Bullrush Hacktower. Both of the eggs removed for incubation in 2007 hatched, and the pair successfully raised K75 and K76 (both males). K75 was the only 2007 eaglet still on Catalina Island as of December 5, 2007. Catalina cams are streaming video, but can only handle 10 viewers at a time and are timed to shut off after 10 minutes of viewing; there's also an option to watch still pictures updating at 5 second or 20 second intervals if traffic at the site is heavy. The cams are solar powered, so the picture may be less than optimal in bad weather. This will be the first year IWS has a cam on this nest.
Based on past experience, look for eggs in late February and early March, chicks in early April, and fledging from mid-June to early July. |
