As always, viewer discretion is advised when watching our nest cams. Actions cannot be taken in situations that are found to occur naturally in the wild, such as avian pox, nest disruption caused by storms, predators, etc. If a situation occurs that can be directly linked to a man-made cause (such as monofilament entanglement) a panel of experts can be called in to determine whether action should be taken to support a nest. However, American Eagle Foundation, in conjunction with USFWS guidance, prohibits interference in an active wild nest. The educational benefit of wildlife cameras is unprecedented and allows global viewers a “bird’s eye view” into the lives of bald eagles and other birds of prey.
