I'd be curious what drives this regional difference in behavior because around here you'll flush a Hawk by pointing a camera at it.

I see a lot of variation in Bald Eagles. The ones that have built nests in more urban areas are MUCH more tolerant that those in rural areas. I know of a few nests that are in awesome locations from a photographers perspective but the residents spook at the slightest thing. I just avoid those.

I remember this post. I've seen a Golden up close but he was captive.

Thanks.
I've thought about it yes, but never really got around to it.
