Golden eagle population soars in East County.

Elements present on the East County side of Mount Diablo have created the perfect recipe for nurturing raptors such as the golden eagle, a massive bird with a 7-foot wingspan.

Doug Bell, East Bay Regional Park District (EBRPD) wildlife program manager, has conducted in-depth studies on the birds of prey. He noted the district’s volunteer Golden Eagle Monitoring Team (GMT) monitors about 40 golden eagle nests, which are considered territories, in the two county areas each year.
