Hi It is important to keep away from nests since flushing hens off nests and walking up to nests can lead to increase nest predation. Raccoons sometimes follow human trails looking for a meal. I also believe turkey hens sometimes abandon after they are flushed off a nest. It is my understanding that some magazines will not publish photos of nests with eggs.
