I see what you mean. I was once on the foot bridge between Harpers Ferry, WV and the Maryland side of the Potomac. Two adult bald eagles were soaring very low directly over the bridge and grabbing at each other. None of the many people around seemed to notice. I naturally pointed them out to everyone near enough, but few seemed to care. One family, from another country, was excited to see the "American Eagle" but a language barrier prohibited us from sharing much more than a great view that lasted at least 15-20 minutes.
