[CINC] Pelican Harbor Eagle Nest Update

[Clare Fritzsche]

 From Kate Faulkner, Chief of Natural Resources at the park (& Annie is 
probably one of the biologists monitoring the bald eagle nest on Santa 
Cruz Island):

    Update from Annie Little, below.

    It's raining on Santa Cruz now.

        Hi all,

        Last Friday (April 3), a chick hatched at the Pelican Harbor
        nest on Santa
        Cruz Island. Unfortunately, this chick has died and the female
        removed the
        chick from the nest on April 6. Possible causes could have been
        starvation,
        infection, etc. The adults are still incubating a second egg so
        hopefully
        that chick will survive.

        I will update you on the rest of the nests soon.

        ~Annie
