Thank you for the update.   I've been to the eagle nest at Pritchett farm and am an avid eagle watcher and everyone is extremely respectful of the “rules”. The professional photographers do not go up close but their lenses are a mile long!!!!!     People just don’t get it.   I went to the park to see the nest with only good intentions. I couldn’t find it. How can I get there so I can photograph with a long lense?  I live in Delray Beach and pass it every day when I go to work!!!!!   My experience has taught me that they will find a place to build another nest nearby   Only hope that it’s after the season !!

Yesterday I met a guy that works for the Turnpike who said they were planning to expand the Sawgrass and 10th street where the eagles have been nesting past 5 years. The construction will be very noisy and disruptive and take months running into their breeding/nesting/hatching season regardless of when they start and take much need space away.

I also have heard from someone who watches the nest often that a woman named Helen from Audubon comes there with her grey pickup truck and drives right under the nest and yells at people. I have never met or seen her  or anyone closer then pulling off the road but that behavior is extremely destructive not just to the eagles but also kills the wild flowers that are food for the Barred Yellow, Dainty Sulphur & Ceranious Blue butterflies I have photographed there. If anyone knows her please tell her to stop. No true conservationist would behave like this

Eaglet is flying, sleeping in the nest at night and still has food dropped off. Has been seen flying with adults but only for a short time. I heard from observers last year the pair spent more time flying with the eaglets then this year but hard to say what is going on away from the nest area.
