Peter Sharpe, a wildlife biologist with the Institute for Wildlife Studies, said it’s common for eagles to travel far, with some flying from Santa Rosa Island to places like Montana and British Columbia. Bald eagles, once a thriving population, declined from the island in the 1950s and 1960s with the Institute of Wildlife Studies pointing to the presence of the industrial pesticide DDT in an ocean dump site near Catalina.The chemical weakens the eagle’s egg shell and results in it cracking before it can hatch. Even though the pesticide was banned in the US in 1972, traces of it remain, hindering restoration efforts.
