How can we help - how can we spread the word?
  Scott and Dave on the Computer  Cruzer friends  PH nest hike on Santa Cruz  Listening to the IWS biologists .................................. ..................................  Banding day - Click on above image to go to IWS Eagle Forum ! There was a small, fuzzy eaglet, perched in a large nest at the top of a tree that the world came to love! When she fledged, she took our and best wishes for success, with her! We had a void - we could not see her everyday - we had occasional updates - we waited and wondered.  What to do with ourselves - hmmmmmm! The "Cruzers" came together and made a commitment to help IWS and Dr. Sharpe, to the best of our ability, to help the bald eagles return home - The Channel Islands! We looked under couch cushions, on the floor of the cars, in the bottom of the washing machine, emptied our basement with a yard sale, ate virtual cupcakes from a virtual bake sale, and so much more - all for the bald eagle! We became part of the IWS effort!  We also began to fine tune our nest observations and post important information in a way that the biologists could easily cull out - such as when the chicks ate, what they ate, how the parents cared for them, parent exchanges and incubation times. But the job is not finished - the eagles still struggle - the biologists work even harder! The all important cameras that make our helping the biologists possible - there are fuel, electricity, ink, paper, water, insurance, maintenance, computer, telephone, fax, staff payroll, taxes and so much more - all necessary to support the bald eagle recovery program! And that's where we come in - through the collective adoption of one nest at a time, the Cruzers have dedicated themselves to being part of that support system! Can you help in any way? Seeing the bald eagles move forward in their struggle to come home is a reward for a Cruzer but IWS has gone even further - for every nest adopted/every collective $1,000 contributed - they will distribute a series of items in a drawing to participants! Click on the "Chick Saying Thanks Photo" above to learn how you can help the eagles... check out the 2nd topic listed on the main IWS Eagle Forum page (and stop by Chat and say HI!     |

          There's more than 1 way to be an eagle helper - click on the IWS logo at the top for more info  Remember - the 2012 Nest Adoption Challenge will be ending on June 1 For every nest that we collectively adopt - the benefits of each nest will be distributed to NAC participants thru a drawing done by Dr. Sharpe! Don't miss out - don't miss this opportunity to help the eagles! Thank you - from my to yours! |
