Boulder Creek and the Eagles
A Usenet persona calling itself

Um...Boulder Creek is NOT a "navigable water way."
But even if it were the Bald Eagle Protection Act would still apply, and
anyone harassing, molesting or disturbing nesting eagles risks prosecution.
That includes kayakers.
For a country priding itself and based on freedome this seems a little
,,, well, off.
Not really. Just because you can float a kayak on a particular creek doesn't
mean it's available for that purpose, as a rather large and extensive body
of law clearly demonstrates.
