A federal biologist plans to climb 80 feet into an ancient oak tree near Glenn L. Martin State Airport Tuesday morning to knock down a nest built by a breeding pair of bald eagles.

The eviction is part of an effort to drive the nesting birds away from the airport, where they have been judged a hazard to aircraft operations.

"Apparently it's an attractive tree for eagles," said Jonathan Dean, a spokesman for the Maryland Aviation Administration. It's a tall, sturdy perch, close to the food resources of the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Nevertheless, he said, "birds and aircraft don't mix."

Biologists say there is a better-than-even chance the birds are already incubating eggs, but bad weather prevented officials from acting sooner. Any eggs in the nest will be lost. But officials expect the eagles will find another nesting site in time to reproduce again this spring. That often occurs when an eagle nest is hijacked by great horned owl.

:( They should wait until the eggs have hatched and the babies have fledged.

What are they THINKING??? :blink:

And here's the rest of the story...

Bald eagle egg lost with dismantling of nest
Birds' movements had become hazard to Martin State Airport operations

By Frank D. Roylance | frank.roylance@baltsun.com
5:23 PM EST, February 24, 2009

A single bald eagle egg was lost today when a federal biologist dismantled a nest close to the runway at Glenn L. Martin State Airport in Middle River.

The eagles' movements had become a hazard to aircraft operations. Fish and Wildlife Service biologist Craig Koppie scaled the 80-foot oak but said he could not get close enough to see the egg until the nest fell.

The shell will be tested for thickness and contaminants. The birds are expected to move quickly to another nest site and lay more eggs.

"I'm more at ease knowing this pair will be away from the runway," he said.

We're all pretty pissed off over here in Maryland...
