In 2006 and 2007, funding was cut for the Catalina Island Bald Eagle Project, so nearly all the work we conducted those two years was funded through donations. Starting in 2008, the Catalina Island and Northern Channel Islands eagle projects were combined into a single project and funding was increased. However, we are not funded to conduct any of the artificial incubation or fostering activities, and only a small portion of the equipment and internet costs necessary to bring you the streaming nest cams are funded. The funds raised during the 2007 Nest Adoption Challenge allowed us to upgrade our web cams and add additional nest and incubation facility cams in 2008. Through your contributions, we will be able to continue to upgrade and add cameras, as well as conduct those bald eagle restoration activities for which we are not funded. Your support is vital to our work.
