Be sure to be in front of your computer on May 27! You will have the opportunity to view a live broadcast of biologists banding two bald eagle chicks on Santa Cruz Island!

On May 27 from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. (Pacific), you can watch as biologist's band the bald eagle chicks, attach wing tags, radio and satellite transmitters, and conduct health checks. And it's all online!

The birds will join a population of over 30 bald eagles that now reside on the northern Channel Islands. This bald eagle nest is on The Nature Conservancy's property on Santa Cruz Island, the largest in the chain of eight Channel Islands.
