[Tweeters] Eagle nest safety at Wiley Slough

[jeff o via Tweeters]

Hello members and friends of our birding community



Skagit Wildlife area manager Greg Meis recently opted to close the spur
dike at the Headquarters Unit, often called Wiley Slough.  As many know,
there is an eagle’s nest with young near the trail.  The nest is not very
high in the tree and the eagles are showing signs of stress by flying near
to people below.



For the safety of the people in the area and to maintain the viability of
the nest and the juvenile eagles, the Skagit Wildlife area will close the
spur dike until further notice.



This is not an official announcement but a heads up for those of us who
care about personal safety and the health and welfare of our local eagle
population.
