On my most recent adventure on Tomales Bay, my family and I decided to head
out, across the bay on our stand-up paddleboards. In addition to a killer sunset,
we were surprised to see a bald eagle landing on Hog Island! I was thrilled! Of
course, this inspired a bit of research …
As it turns out, there is a pair of bald eagles that have been nesting on Hog Island since 2009. In 2008, the Giacomini Wetlands restoration project took 550 acres and returned them to their natural state by tearing down the levees that had kept the area dry for more than 60 years. This restoration has had an amazing impact on the wildlife in our area. It is suspected that the pair chose to nest here due to the increase in food sources. They couldn’t have picked a more beautiful place to call home!
