Bald Eagles Confirmed Nesting in Los Angeles County

County officials said the sighting reflects a local conservation rebound and made protecting active nests a priority.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles County Department of Parks and Recreation confirmed a nesting pair on Sunday after posting a social media video that shows the two eagles perched in a tree.
  • Officials reminded the public that bald eagles and native nesting birds are federally protected and warned that disturbing active nests can disrupt breeding and reduce nesting success.
  • The county urged people to observe from a distance, keep dogs leashed, avoid flying drones near wildlife, and postpone tree trimming or vegetation clearing during nesting season.
  • Authorities declined to disclose the exact nest location to limit human disturbance and asked residents to report any problems to park staff or wildlife agencies.
  • The county provided the San Dimas Raptor Rescue Center phone number, 626-559-5732, for anyone who finds a nestling in distress and said the sighting builds on federal data and local efforts showing a broader bald eagle comeback.
