A pair of nesting bald eagles was spotted perched on a high branch in an undisclosed Los Angeles County park area, prompting the Parks and Recreation Department to urge residents to stay back, avoid tree work during nesting season, keep dogs leashed, and refra
Two bald eagles are drawing attention in Los Angeles County—perched high on a tree branch, apparently taking it easy while they nest.
The sightings were shared in a video posted Friday by the L.A. County Department of Parks and Recreation. The clip shows the two eagles perched together in an undisclosed location.
Native nesting birds—including bald eagles—are protected under federal law, the department said in its post. It warned that disturbing active nests can “disrupt breeding and impact their success.”
The department did not immediately respond to a request Sunday for comment about where the eagles took up refuge.
For Southern California residents who may run into nesting wildlife, the department’s message was plain: give nesting birds plenty of space and avoid lingering near nest sites. If possible, residents should hold off on tree trimming or vegetation clearing during nesting season.
The guidance extends to everyday behavior. Dogs should remain leashed and under control around trees and shrubs where birds may be nesting. Residents are also told not to fly drones near wildlife.
If a nestling is in distress, the department directed people to contact the San Dimas Raptor Rescue Center for advice at (626) 559-5732.

So where exactly is the park??
I mean people just don’t listen. If the eagles are nesting then stop messing with the trees, right. Also why do they always post vague locations like it’s a secret?
Wait, bald eagles in L.A. County?? I thought those were like… Alaska only lol. But also if there’s a nest, won’t the tree trimming happen anyway for safety? Like powerlines and stuff, are they gonna shut that down too?
This is why I don’t trust drone people. Next thing you know someone’s filming and the birds freak out. But also they say keep dogs leashed… my dog would probably just ignore the whole thing, she’s old. Idk, just call that rescue place if a baby looks bad, I guess. Wish they’d tell what park though, I live nearby and I swear I’ll “keep my distance” (from my balcony lol).
