Private Equity Fund Of Funds For the second time in three months, a cadre of golden eagles on
Santa Cruz Island has outfoxed a helicopter crew trying to capture
them, leaving frustrated wildlife managers to fall back on more
traditional trapping methods.
The magnificent sunsets can be enjoyed during times of high flood from the camp's most romantic Fish Eagle Bar at Eagle Island or from the raised deck overlooking the lagoon.

The large private decks are furnished with easy chairs and a hammock, ideal for viewing wildlife, or for enjoying a private dinner in complete privacy.
Curve Equity Exposed Fund The helicopter, aided by 20 spotters on the ground, spent the
week chasing the powerful birds across steep ridges, into
canyons and along sheer sea cliffs. But whenever the helicopter
closed in, the eagles slipped away, ducking for cover beneath
trees and ledges. The effort --
intended to help the endangered island foxes -- was finally
called off Thursday.

golden eagles on the island rather than the three recorded in
July.

Capital Casebook Equity "One eagle managed to give
birth and the others probably
came from the mainland," said Kate Faulkner, chief of resources
management at Channel Islands National Park. "They are masterful
fliers and can come across the channel with ease. They see other
eagles circling above and think it's good feeding
territory."

Private Investment In Public The birds are being removed from Santa
Cruz, the largest of the Channel Islands, because they prey on the
island fox. Many of the cat-sized foxes have been trapped and put
in pens until the eagles are captured. There are now 91 foxes
living in captivity on Santa Cruz,
Santa Rosa and San Miguel islands. The golden eagles nest on Santa
Cruz but can roam to the other islands.

return to bow nets, with which 22 golden eagles initially were
caught starting in 1999 but which have since proved ineffective.
The folding traps are baited with feral pig carcasses and buried.
When hungry birds step into them, the traps
snap shut.

birds, having watched others get
gradually picked off, learned to avoid them.
Private Equity Investment Firm Wildlife officials then borrowed a technique used in Wyoming. It
involved chasing eagles with a helicopter until the
birds tired and landed. The
aircraft then hovers above, and a biologist perched in the door
launches a net from what resembles a modified shotgun. Another
crewman then leaps out and subdues the floundering animal.
Complying Deal Equity Funds But Santa Cruz Island, with plunging valleys and
mountains rising to 4,000 feet,
has proved more formidable than the open grasslands of Wyoming.
Along with rugged terrain, foggy island weather has made
helicopter netting almost impossible.
Equity Msn Private Wyoming During the most recent effort, the helicopter closed in on an
eagle that had landed. The net was fired, missing the bird by
inches. The crew never got close again, park officials said.
American Equity Investment "We are going back to the tried-and-true capture technique,"
Faulkner said. "It should work on several of these
birds that are immature. But it's
possible we may have to live with a small number of golden eagles
on the islands. The real goal is to remove the feral pigs, their
primary food source."
Equity Index Funds After capture, the eagles, which can stand 3 feet high with
wingspans of 8 feet, are transported 800 miles to Goose Lake in far
northeastern California and released.
Equity Private Team Wyoming "We have to try every trick we have," said Erik Aschehoug,
project ecologist for the Nature Conservancy, which owns 76%
of Santa Cruz Island. "We tried techniques used in other places and
discovered they didn't work here. We are going through all the
steps in one of the largest environmental restoration efforts
in the world."
Equity Group Investment With so few eagles left, Aschehoug said there are discussions
about whether to release the island foxes. He added that none of
the 75 to 100 foxes in the wild on Santa Cruz have been killed by
eagles in the last six months.
