Eagle Watching Etiquette
For the safest and least intrusive viewing experience, please follow these guidelines when observing or photographing nesting eagles:

  • Use binoculars or a spotting scope to observe eagles closely.  Photographers should use telephoto lenses.
  • Do not stand directly under an eagle nest or in close view of the eagles.  The recommended viewing distance is at least 330 feet.
  • Once parked safely off the road, remain in or near your vehicle.  Vehicles can serve as very effective ‘bird blinds’.
  • Do not make loud or sudden noises.  Avoid yelling, car door slamming, or horn honking.
  • Move quickly and quietly to any designated observation areas.
  • Never try to make eagles fly or stand up at the nest.
  • Always ask permission before entering private property.
  • Keep pets at home.
  • Always give eagles and other wildlife the space they need.  
  • Please share your knowledge and set an example for others.
