My family has a ranch in FL that I worked on quite a bit and there is a large Bald Eagle population. The dense Central FL scrub and deep forrest is not the easiest to get around in, so when Nova and National Geo. came with a couple of state's egg relocation programs I tracked for them.
Perhaps footage with me in it ended-up in the programs... I'm not sure. The Nova camera man was not very happy with me, as he never listened to me and ended-up falling a lot along with quite a few "thorny" situations.
We did relocate quite a few clutches that got relaid several years in a row.
I'll try and see if I can find some of my old pics... we used to get a lot of eagles on the hill that we dumped our deer carcases. We have counted in the 30's at once, it is amazing to be close to.
