  • This film chronicles the journey of the bald eagle's recovery from disappearance on the Channel Islands in the 1960s from DDT contamination, overhunting, and egg collecting to today's population of about 60 birds on four Channel Islands, some that are successfully breeding. Film Correction: Annie Little's title should say "Wildlife Biologist, Montrose Settlements Restoration Program"

    I salute those who undertook the challenge over 10 years to have DDT reparation made. Then to work tirelessly to re- establish Bald Eagles in the Channel Islands. After 28 years to see the first chick hatch naturally - no wonder that guy was emotional. From a U.K. viewer who follows th Big Bear Valley Bald Eagles, Jackie and Shadow. 🙏🦅

    The story of restoring the bald eagles to the Channel Islands is really awe inspiring.
    It takes a lifetime of dedication for the tireless workers who have accomplished this.
    I salute you all.

    This was an amazing documentary. I just learned of it from Lady Hawk, she is tireless in her dedication of putting out such informative eagle videos and am so thankful for all who are involved with bringing us the day in the life of so many eagles. I wonder with all the chemtrails being sprayed in our skies, what this effect has on this generation of eagles and other wildlife as well 😔. Beautiful islands.

    Hi! This video was mentioned on your IWS.org eagle cam site this evening by a member. I watched the video and learned so much about the Channel Islands, the eagles, and their struggles with survival over the years. Thank you to Dr. Sharp and everyone involved with the Channel Islands and the eagles. I just started watching eagle cams last year, then came upon your IWS site about 2 months ago, and now I check in to see the eagles daily. I am a big fan now and I donated to your fundraiser. I am already teaching my granddaughter about these wonderful eagles. Thank you so much! 💜🦅💜

The pesticide sections are just plan crazy too. You have to see this and mostly the mother Eagle sitting on the ladies lap, she is so beautiful.

    • @crickkett7510
      @crickkett7510 Před 4 lety +1

      RutherfordClan , the tracking on the wings is short lived on the wing (s), and it eventually in time, simply goes away. Unless reason for removal, the bands or tags on ankles are permanent.

    • @sallyshipwreck4315
      @sallyshipwreck4315 Před 3 lety +1

      To see the information on the tag they'd have to capture the bird. With the wing tags they can monitor from afar. Far less intrusive and stressful to the birds. There's no other way to see if their program worked or not. It did, astoundingly, and I am greatful!

    @knarley Thank you. This was great information and for me a little emotional to know what the Bald Eagles went through so much; pretty much torture to wipe them out and off of Catalina Island.
    They had a paradise until man ......
    But what’s going to happen to them again right now with trump removing them from the Endangered Species List and letting manufacturing plants pollute the rivers with toxic waste and the air with plants spewing toxic fumes? And to add, tearing away their habitats in the forests bc man/trump is fracking the land for oil/gas?
    I’m afraid all of our wildlife are in endangered and for the Bald Eagles Endangered again.
    That includes fish deer bear coyote ground hogs etc.
