Federal wildlife officials are currently reviewing the removal of a bald eagle nest at a planned subdivision site in Auburn, Alabama. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service issued a permit to the developer allowing the nest's removal, which has sparked concern among local residents.
The agency is investigating the removal to ensure that the developer complied with the permit's terms and conditions. The tree containing the nest was cut down over the weekend, causing distress to nearby residents who had hoped to prevent its removal.
