I think that in some cases you cannot even go near the nest legally. From: Lewis Bergman Sent: Friday, March 27, 2020 8:43 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Ospreys on Tower
According to one source I found it doesn't matter if the nest has eggs or not. It only matters if the bird is actively using the nest, tending.

I probably would have decided to delay if I had known it but evidently the landscaper says it is a law that you can't destrub a native birds nest that is active. I have no diea if that was a federal or state law. I did find the following: https://www.robertreeveslaw.com/blog/removing-bird-nests/ I also found a pest control persons website that states: If the bird’s nest on your boat belongs to a sparrow, starling, or pigeon, you may remove it. If it belongs to any other bird and the nest has been built and is being tended (eggs or not), you are out of luck. No idea if any of this applies to you but there it is.
