that is some dramatic footage. congrats on a successful mission!

Thanks Rod. Great info!!. I’m not the best with the internet searching, but your simple search sure makes me look stupid and lazy.

I was wondering how bad it would look above a tree line. thanks for the info. Some of that FWC info isn’t valid any longer, especially since hurricane IRMA came through. Officially the season is October thru April. The drone would be off season only.

Great to know. Thank you very much!

Thanks for the info on the 107 certificate. I’ll look into that.

October through April is our official season unless we are sure there are still baby’s at the nest and then we monitor until they fledge. FWC had some funding cutbacks in doing flyovers. Lots of new nests since IRMA came through. And he, you’re right. I should have been more clear. This is...

Sorry. I should have been more clear. I’m aware of the rules with monitoring eagles nest. Can’t get within 330 feet unless we suspect injury and then you have to get permission... These would be flights in the off season. FWC nor Eaglewatch has a problem with it. thanks for the concern though

thanks. I was wondering how visible the nest would be from blue. FWC’s budget has been cut pretty bad so flyovers are limited and hasn’t been updated since irma roared thru. We, the volunteers are discovering new nests all the time.

Oh bummer. As I think about it, that makes perfect sense from a safety perspective. I guess that will be shortening the number of nests I’ll be searching. Appreciate the quick response.

Hi Guys, I’m so new I don’t even own a drone yet, but I need to get one so I can try and locate bald eagles nest in Florida for a program called Eaglewatch. Can anyone shed some light about the capability of drones providing accurate GPS coordinates? I will have a general idea based on Florida...
