In the mid-1980s, when the Ventana Wildlife Society began reintroducing bald eagles to the Central Coast, the last known bald eagle nest in the region dated back to 1933, near the top of a redwood tree along Torre Creek on the Big Sur coast.
But since the reintroduction campaign by VWS – a conservation nonprofit – which released 66 bald eagles in Big Sur from 1986 to 1994, the iconic birds have made a spectacular recovery: Scientists believe there are now 30 breeding pairs of bald eagles from Marin to Santa Barbara counties.
