Weißkopfseeadler
A pair of Bald eagles ("Haliaeetus leucocephalus") built a nest in a Coast Douglas-fir ("Pseudotsuga menziesii var. menziesii") in March 2012. This is the first bald eagle nest in San Mateo County since 1915, almost 100 years ago. Although initially unsuccessful, they have returned to their nest in the northwest corner of the Lower Reservoir. In 2013, they successfully mated and the fledgling flew North after leaving the nest.
