All Eyes on Eagles

Audubon Florida says at least 1,500 eagle nesting pairs live in the Sunshine State. Despite the upward trend in the number of eagles, threats to the protected species are of concern. Audubon Florida says recently in Collier County, a roofing company and two homeowners were fined for roof work within a buffer zone of an active bald eagle nest. WGCU’s Jennifer Crawford talks with Audubon EagleWatch Program Director Cheryl Merz about how these regulations can help the eagle population rebound.
