Did you know there is a nesting pair of Bald Eagles at Lake Natoma?
Meet Kathy Kayner, a wildlife photographer and an amazing storyteller, to learn about a pair of Bald Eagles that have been nesting on the American River Parkway within the Folsom Lake State Recreation Area. The Bald Eagle family consists of an adult pair, “Mama and Papa”, who have, since 2017, successfully hatched 21 eaglets from a nest in a gray pine tree that overlooks Lake Natoma.
Kathy Kayner will discuss what has been learned from observing the Eagles for the past eight years, and from interaction with visitors to the designated viewing area. Through photos, stories, and Kathy’s passion for the eagles, learn about our national symbol, and the work being done to protect them and other species sharing their habitat.
When Kathy Kayner was called by California State Parks to see if she would be interested in volunteering at a wild Bald Eagle nest over Lake Natoma, she immediately said YES!! She has been volunteering at this site since 2017, sometimes standing for hours observing the Eagles from 400’ away and learning how they interact with each other and their eaglets.
A wildlife photographer, Kathy has observed and photographed a pair of Great Horned Owls and their owlets as well as Swainson’s Hawks and their chicks. In talking with students and local organizations, Kathy hopes to spark an interest in conservation and stewardship in preserving the Eagles and the habitat on which they depend.
