I think I have come up with the answer to challenge question number
10. I think Peter Nye collected prey from the nests of the Bald Eagles for
several reasons.

1). He wanted to see exactly what the mother eagle fed her chick.
This is important because the type of food might determine how the eaglet
will grow.

2). He might be checking for toxins in the fish due to chemicals in
the Hudson River. This could kill the eaglet or stunt its growth. Even if
the eaglet got sick, it wouldn't last long, and we would lose the first
eaglet born near the Hudson in a hundred years.

Peter Nye did well by his study, and I agree that he should have
gone up there, even at the expense of the eagles' privacy. Good Luck!!!
