Unlike Osprey that tend to dismiss nest proximity as populations grow, Bald Eagles in the east prefer a wide separation from other BAEA nests. It will be interesting to watch what happens here as the population of BAEA grows and how much interspecies tolerance with OSPR, as Diana mentioned, will be tolerated. Our hope of course is that some of the mature birds will start house hunting at the south end of our lakes. Queen Catharine Marsh would be ideal for them and for observation.
