The first time I ever saw a Bald Eagle I was 34 years old. That was only 10 years ago. My children grew up watching a nesting pair with me - and they now think nothing of seeing an eagle. To them, they've always been there. It was humans that almost made them extinct. It was humans that somehow managed to bring them back from the brink. And now you want to allow them to be disturbed?? I don't care what the circumstances are - we should be staying out of their way! We all know the numbers - only 50 % survive their first year of life. I've seen many of them die this year alone, along with nest failures. It has not even been a year since they were removed from the Endangered species list and they are, by far, no where near being safe. It's the same with any animal - urban sprawl - we take over their land and want them removed when they bother us. Please lets just leave them alone!!
