Nesting Bald Eagles, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, Remain on 7 West

These photos are compliments of member Dave Senator and guest to the club Kathy Fenner who were both able to capture a few great pictures of our nesting eagles. The eagles remain in their nest on 7 West and there are reports that another eaglet has been born and is growing well. As we are stewards of the environment and wildlife, it's great to see such a beautiful bird choosing to make Walnut Creek Country Club it's home!
