I’d rather see them hunting or chilling lone or in pairs. Up north in a group like that with ravens, they’re little more than buzzards.

It's interesting - I've been following, from a distance, a couple of eagles in Avon Lake, Ohio. They're nested in a large oak tree behind an elementary school. There are 3 cameras set up at the nest, and there is a great following in that area. People set up lawn chairs in the parking lot to watch the eagles, but they also take care to stay 100 feet back from the tree.
It's been cool to watch the life cycle - eggs every spring, 2-3 eaglets hatch, generally, they grow, sibling rivalry, then they're taught to live on their own, and by fall, they've been basically booted out of the nest. This has been going on for 5 or 6 years that I know of.
The adult eagles are named Stars and Stripes, and each year, the school kids name the offspring. Such a great education opportunity for this semi-rural suburban community.
