A BALD EAGLE CHICK HAS BEEN SPOTTED IN SOUTH SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN DECADES, A LOCAL PAIR OF BALD EAGLES HAS PRODUCED A CHICK HERE IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY. THE JUVENILE EAGLE WAS HATCHED, REARED, AND FLEDGED FROM A NEST IN A EUCALYPTUS TREE IN A SLOUGH (WEST OF WATSONVILLE). WHEN SHE GROWS UP SHE WILL HAVE THE SAME DISTINCTIVE WHITE HEAD OF THE ALL BALD EAGLES, BUT FOR NOW SHE IS JUST A LARGE BROWN BIRD.
