I discovered a Bald Eagle nest on Consumer's property a few months ago and today was the first time that I observed one on nest in an incubative posture.  This is a first for Consumer's Karn/Weadock property!  The Peregrine Falcons were perched on the Weadock building and smoke stack where they've nested the past several years.

How can other birders access the site?

The Consumer's Karn/Weadock property had bird watching access prior to 9/11. No one was allowed in for a number of years after 9/11. I've been the only birder to have re-gained access since that time as I had been leading seasonal community ed bird seminars in there for much of the 90's. Sorry that I can't be of more help; I have tried but they are very strict about non-worker entry.

Ok thanks for the follow up. I wonder if DOD or DOE clearance would help.
