Shannon Lankford, a resident in the Huffman area near Lake Houston, is concerned about a bald eagle nest in the area near her home. Eagles and their nests are protected by law and she has serious concerns that even though they are protected, they are under threat because land owners and developers are ignoring the laws protecting them as they clear and develop their lands.
“I live right on the lake here in Huffman … and have an active eagle nest within walking distance of my home. The pair isn’t the only active nest we have in the area and I am just wanting to get the news out that they are here and that they deserve to be protected,” she said.
