Castro Valley’s Bald Eagle Family is Growing
AUGUST 2014
“It’s heartening to see the eagle population growing and expanding,” said East Bay Regional Parks Naturalist Sharol Nelson-Embry, who told CVN the parks department is keeping eagle and eaglet updates, including a bevy of up to date photos by volunteer eagle monitor Mary Malec, on the park district’s website. The photo stream from volunteer monitors helps Naturalists keep tabs on bald eagle behavior patterns and also appeals a great deal to the public. “This creates a lot of attention because people like iconic wildlife such as bald eagles,” Nelson-Embery added.
