Two bald eagles were seen nesting in Los Angeles County, the county’s department of Parks and Recreation announced on Saturday.<\/p>\n
“Bald eagles, along with all native nesting birds, are protected under federal law. Disturbing active nests can disrupt breeding and impact their success,” the County said in a statement.<\/p>\n
The large birds were seen in a video, shared on social media by the county, perched on the branch of a tree. <\/p>\n
The county also shared some reminders to the public, highlighting the safety of the animals and the importance of giving the their space:<\/p>\n
\u2022 Observe from a distance and avoid lingering near nest sites.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Keep dogs leashed and under control, especially around trees and shrubs where birds may be nesting.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Avoid flying drones near wildlife.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you can, hold off on tree trimming or vegetation clearing during nesting season.<\/p>\n
\u2022 If you notice a disturbance or a nest at risk, consider reaching out to your local park staff or wildlife agencies.<\/p>\n
Anyone who may encounter a nestling in distress is urged to contact the San Dimas Raptor Rescue Center at 626-559-5732.<\/p>\n
