A pair of nesting bald eagles has been spotted in Los Angeles County.
The L.A. County Department of Parks and Recreation posted a video of the birds over the weekend, but didn't reveal exactly where the duo is nesting.
Bald eagles are protected under federal law and disturbing their nests can cause serious impact to their breeding and success.
Officials say you can protect the birds by following these simple steps:
- Observe from a distance and avoid lingering near nest sites.
- Keep dogs leashed, especially around trees where birds may be nesting.
- Avoid flying drones near wildlife.
- Pause tree trimming or vegetation clearing during nesting season.
If you notice a nest in distress, you can reach out to your local park staff or a wildlife agency.
