No, the Catalina Chick-Cam is not a web cam to admire the nude and topless sunbathers at the secret cove.....

The Chick-Cam is a webcam setup where you can watch the progress of recently hatched bald Eagle Chicks.

These are the first chicks to hatch naturally without human intervention in 50 years.

Most of you know that the criminal goverment conspired to allow a weapon of mass destruction to be unleashed on the people and environment of California in the form of hundreds of tons of DDT poison to be dumped into the ocean between Catalina and the mainland. This worked its way up the foodchain and caused Eagle egg shells to be too thin to support normal incubation.

In the past, a recently layed egg was taken and replaced with a fake plastic one while the real one was incubated, then at the last mintue it was switched back and the parents nor chick were not worse for the wear.

An awful lot of time, effort and money by responsible people went into this effort, and they are to be commened as guardians of the Earth.

You too can be a small part of a large effort to assist in this effort by buyng an Eagle sweatshirt, Eagle T-shirt, postcards or the Eagle of Catalina Documentary DVD, any of which can be purchased here (http://www.iws.org/bald_eagles/new_donation_page.htm)
