From the Friends of the Pheasant Branch Conservancy Bald Eagle Nest website:

Welcome to the Eagles’ Nest viewing platform! From here, you can see the large nest our resident eagle pair have built. Bald Eagles reuse their nest, adding to its already prodigious size each year. 

Bald Eagles are protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Under these laws, nest sites must be protected from disturbance – which is why the City of Middleton closed a foot path into the wetland once this nest site was established.
