Kramer has a grant to study mercury buildup in bald eagles and is on a permit to collect feather, talon & blood samples. The eaglet was perched on the edge of the nest with an adult when the group found the tree. When he started climbing the tree, the adult flew off, circled and returned several times. It was very agitated. He didn’t want to risk causing the eaglet to jump and we backed out of the mission. He commented that he’d never had an adult behave that way, they usually fly off and don’t return quickly.

Nest #2
Kramer has a grant to study mercury buildup in bald eagles and is on a permit to collect feather, talon & blood samples. The eaglet was perched on the edge of the nest with an adult when the group found the tree. When he started climbing the tree, the adult flew off, circled and returned several times. It was very agitated. He didn’t want to risk causing the eaglet to jump and we backed out of the mission. He commented that he’d never had an adult behave that way, they usually fly off and don’t return quickly.
