No problems at all with the adults. They stay far enough away to watch. It’s a national Park service program monitoring bald eagles i’m working for the college of William and Mary and the center for conservation biology. I go into the eagle nest and retrieve the chicks for the biologist on the ground. They tag them, take blood test, do health assessment, sometimes a satellite transmitter, then they send them back up to me in the Nest and I put them back has to be done at a specific age. I have the Facebook live videos on my
Personal page and the biz page if anybody wants to go back and watch them
 
I'm surprised the parents don't go after you. Interesting. We have a lot of BEs around here, I see them all the time, especially early spring. They nest along a creek less than a mile from the house. Saw an adult once eating dead deer on side of road and stopped and looked at it from less than 10' away. It just looked at me like, "You want a piece of me???" I've seen them stealing fish from ospreys, too, when fishing...

College of W&M...are you doing this in tidewater Va area? I'm over on the other side of the bay...we also have peregrines nesting out on Watts I. and I see them from time to time, esp when duck hunting, seems like you see them in winter more.

I'm all over the Chesapeake watershed and the Potomac river basin. The group i'm working for also does falcons over on your side. Funny, most of that is bridge work. Guess they like the structure of the bridges and towers.
 
Had to show off that Akimbo in the last pic too, didn't you ;)
(I see now you also posted that in the Akimbo thread...)
