Looks like no one has posted about this, but for the past couple of days, a Bald Eagle (presumably a 4th cycle bird, with a mostly white head) has been at Goleta Beach, raiding Great Blue Heron nests. There have been messages about this on Slack. Not sure what's left of this year's broods. My understanding is that the eagle has fought off nest defenses by the adult herons and has taken young and probably eggs. I saw the eagle myself this morning, but missed the drama.
