Southern California - North Orange County Bald Eagles.

Are you wondering why we're seeing bald eagles in our area? 

 In 1960, it came to light that the pesticide DDT was thinning bald eagles' eggshells and caused the population to crater. In the early 1970's, DDT was banned. Since then, California's eagle population has recovered, and the bald eagle is no longer on the endangered species list.
The Beautiful pictures below were taken at the Santa Ana Riverbed Trail Friday and Saturday by Darlene McFarlane.
