Yesterday I drove past the site, and someone was in a folding "Director's Chair" on the south sidewalk to the west of the nest (closer to the dead Melaleuca trees), looking up with binoculars. This looked like a comfortable place to view from, that was far enough away from the nest not to disturb them. Would this be considered a proper and safe place to view the nest?

Hello
Just wanted to know if the eagles are being truly disturbed or harassed by people looking at the nest from the south side of the street? I understand that there would be a real problem if people tried to climb the fence or get closer than that, but if they are just staring up from the side walk, how much harassment is actually the nest experiencing? What is the difference between these people and those who stand on the median grassy area?
To a certain extent, I would imagine it would be safer for people to view the nest form the south side walk rather than the median.
I don't mean to challenge anyone's opinion. I just simply hope to get an clear answer from those members of the group who have been monitoring this nest from the start and have an understanding of its needs to survive.
