Hi Dr. Sharpe. After reading the latest Catalina update and seeing the pictures of K-08 I was wondering if you think it is possible that this could be K-08 (aka Dakota) from the West End nest from 2010. The pictures seemed to show quite a bit of white on the head, and perhaps looking more like a 4 year old then a 3 year old. I know that with Dakota there was a mortality signal received from the mainland but, could that just be that he dropped his backpack? Just wondering what your thoughts were. Either way it is wonderful to have a recent siting of one of the Catalina eagles. Thank you for all that you and the IWS crew are doing. Carole |

Our last contact with the 2010 K-08 was a mortality signal that we thought was coming from the ocean towards the mainland. I suppose it could have been a dropped transmitter on the mainland. If it was from the ocean, then it had to still be attached to the bird because a dropped transmitter would sink. Both were males with leg bands on the right leg, so that doesn't help identify the bird. If I can find a photo of the underwing tag from one of the birds, I can compare the numbering. |

Thank you Dr. Sharpe. Just curious if it could be Dakota as that was the 1st year I started watching. |
