According to Sharyn Hood of the south regional FWC office, since completion of the construction of the traffic signal requires work within the 330 buffer zone, "FWC has recommended that the project, or at least the work within 330 , be postponed until the eagle chicks have fledged. The Environmental Department representative from the school board fully supports this recommendation, so it looks like things will be delayed until sometime in April..."
Sharyn adds: "...I hope that all of the eagle watchers out there are limiting activity to outside this area. Pedestrian traffic within this area can be especially disturbing to birds, so while I encourage folks to enjoy watching the birds I remind them that we are all responsible for ensuring their success (construction workers and birdwatchers alike the birds don t distinguish!). So, I hope that everyone is keeping their distance and paying close attention to the birds behavior to make sure they aren t causing the disturbance from which they are trying to protect the eagles."
