Very cool!
Is that an identification patch of some sort on the eagle's wing? It seems to say "10."
I think so,
Victoria. I think they typically tag every eagle with a unique identifier. I watched them do it last year in this very aerie to the young eaglet just before he was ready to head off to the wild blue yonder. That's no easy feat either. This aerie is like 50 feet in the air and eagles, even young ones don't take kindly to people messing with them. But the people doing this are real professionals and obviously doing an outstanding job. Its nice to see the Bald Eagle flourishing once again in the skies of Southern California.
