Eagles must now play all home games throughout the day, because opening the projectors of the nests of birds can harm them.

Heidi Cyr from the Minnesota Natural Resources Department, said the school could lift the nest after you can fly the chicks of Osprey, which should not take too long.

Realizing the nest in June, the school sends a drone every few days to control the progress of chicks.

School officials plan to move the nest to another platform in the school fields and to deterrence on the stadium lights after the chicks are separated and hopes that Ospreys will return next year.
