My
experience
at
the
nest,
which
is
what
this
review
is
about,
was
not
as
good
as
going
to
a
zoo
(although,
it
was
free).
Lots
of
people
and
heavy
traffic
noise,
tractor
tailors,
dump
trucks...etc.
Only
accessible
to
view
from
the
east
side
church
and
the
south
side
sidewalk,
which
is
only
feet
away
from
the
heavily
traveled
Bayshore
road.
Traffic
runs
50-60
mph,
except
a
few
nuts
that
slow
down
to
see
the
eagles
as
they
drive
by
nearly
causing
accidents
(and
sometimes
not
just
"nearly").
The
driveway
to
the
west
is
off-limits
to
eagle
watchers,
although
that's
where
the
eagle
statues
are,
watchers
and
photographers
aren't
allowed
past
the
statues.
I've
photographed
many
Bald
Eagles'
nests
over
decades
and
this
nest
is
one
of
my
least
favorite
to
visit.
People
get
a
better
view
by
staying
home
and
watching
on
the
cams.
These
eagles
are
habituated
to
the
traffic
and
to
the
people's
presence,
so
they
will
give
you
an
opportunity
now
and
then
to
get
very
close
to
them
without
disrupting
their
behavior
or
disturbing
them
(using
proper
wildlife
etiquette
of
course)
.
The
owners
of
the
properties
on
both
sides
(east
and
west)
are
very
nice
people
if
you
get
the
chance
to
meet
them,
and
the
people
that
go
to
photograph
and
visit
the
eagles
can
be
interesting
to
talk
to,
and
are
mostly
very
nice
people,
too.
