(25,080 posts)1. The idiot but hutchered the cutting of the tree and for what purpose? Hope they get them.
We have bald eagle nests area here and have eagle cams so we can watch them..people line up with big lens cameras and the schools have eagle cams times. We should celebrate them and we do here

the locals now have to watch for the next housing/business development that will want to build on, or adjacent to, the land where the federally protected species habitat exists, or once existed.
It's how developers try to skirt the wildlife protection laws. Kill off the eagles to make the problem go away.
