She hired an arborist who instead of obtaining her authorization, talked directly with the Fish and Wildlife agent and told them that only one of the trees was diseased. I am looking for a recommendation for another arborist (who may have experience with eagles nests) who could give her a second opinion. <o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><br clear=all><o:p></o:p></p><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:13.5pt;font-family:"Open Sans","serif";color:#6E8F94'>DOUGLAS W.
