"Mequon's mayor urges residents to keep their distance.
Harassing eagles is a federal crime, and harming the birds in any way comes with serious consequences. Eagles are the most protected species in the United States, and even possessing a single feather from one of the majestic birds is unlawful."
DNR employees in a plane Wednesday morning spotted one of the eagles on the nest but could not determine if there were any eggs in the broad shelf of tree branches the birds created in the treetop, said Tom Isaac, a DNR wildlife biologist at Pike Lake in Washington County."
Oh, but a government agency flying planes over the nest site is less disruptive than a father an child looking up from a walking path to see these magnificent birds!
