Hello,

I visited the nest in the afternoon and there was so many people there I couldn't believe it. I was glad to see so much interest in the Eagles, and for the most part the eagles seem to tolerate all the action. I was told by a friend that there was one lady that went under the nest and the adults started freaking out and vocalizing, I didn't see this for my self but I do believe him and I have had to try to educate others that got too close to the nest and for the most part the people I try to educate about the birds and the distances that are in place to protect the nesting birds and they understand mostly. So please try to educate people about the 330 feet and about the eagles in general and I think you will get a good response from the encounter if you do it nicely and politely, and might meet someone new in the process, and we will be a step closer to protecting these eagles, they are getting famous, and I think it will only get more crowded as time goes on.

Another think I saw and got a shot of was one of the adults chasing off a Red Tailed Hawk from flying to close to the nest while the other adult was in the nest feeding the chicks. It was exciting!
