I love the idea of a western observation location! We could better observe the eagles as they fly around and perch in the dead maleleucas as well as still see the nest, but from a safer distance for the birds. Also, many other birds of prey land in the dead stand of maleleucas and some watchers have even photographed Pileated Woodpeckers there. It would be so much better to get the watchers away from the road. I still think we would need a plan to stop people standing along the south side of Pines in front of the nest. Maybe if we have a dedicated safe viewing area and post no standing along the road, it would help the liability situation for the City....but that's one for the legal experts! I smell the wood burning, Ken!
