Growing up I was always told not to touch a birds nest or the parents would
abandon it. This is false obviously since the parents expend so much energy
in nest building, laying eggs, protecting the nest, and raising the chicks.
However, cats, raccoons, skunks, and probably other predators are attracted
to human scent and will usually take a quick detour to see what we find so
interesting. If we are visiting a nest, this would quite possibly make it
much easier for the predator to find a nest that might have otherwise been
concealed and safe.

Audubon has long had a policy of asking us not to photograph nests, eggs and
young in the nest for obvious reason. This is just a reminder with the
nesting season coming on and for some birds, already in progress. Comments
can be sent directly to me.
