I just thought I'd write this because I am at this site.

Yes, lor.... there was an active video on the net last spring showing that attack! It was really disturbing...fast and deadly looking.
From what I could figure out, is that the Golden eagles sort of had that territory, and as the Bald eagles start to reproduce more successfully there is an overlap and competition for those breeding areas in the Catalina area. What I read is that it was thought that a Golden eagle was the attacker.
It will be interesting to see what happens this year.
I love watching the cams. They are just so moving and fascinating too.
The cam is active, but it has been dark the past two days.
I check it twice a day, just to make sure.
