“The eagles must be different in the Northwest than they are in Texas, because I have had two specific examples with abandoned nests. We are not even sure that the nests that were abandoned were eagles' nests. In the one example I used last night, a road was stopped. Finally, the property owners had to mitigate by putting in an easement in perpetuity 4 acres, not just one tree. The second specific example, across the lake an abandoned eagle's nest, so people were told, stopped the cutting of 100,000 dollars' worth of timber. Nobody was able to prove that an eagle was there. Someone said it was an abandoned eagle's nest; 100,000 dollars' worth of timber. That is not one tree. I appreciate the gentleman yielding to me.”
