Live web cam of bald eagles

idigtractors · 04-07-2011, 07:42 PM

Hey ole geezer, I checked out the Iowa eagles and the shot is super impressive. I also tried to check out the other one but wouldn't come up. I have to check the Iowa one this evening to see how it is with the infrared lights on the nest.

I am hooked to this site, it is amazing! My kids are even watching it in school for science! I have a new love for the bald Eagle!!

I have been watching this site for a while. It is without doubt, the most amazing nest camera. Yesterday, the person monitoring the camera, moved the lens so the mother eagle's head totally filled the space -a closeup. It was just awesome. Plus it has audio, so you can hear her calling to her mate, and soon, you'll be able to hear the chicks as they call to their parents for food.

Oh, these eagle cams are amazing.

I found several more of them on the WildEarth TV website. It seems that many nests around the country are beginning to hatch chicks. It'll be nice watching them until the Loon cams start popping up. Now those cams are addicting to watch.

Thanks for posting about the eagle cams.

They showed the birds on the webcam on ABC News this evening. The eaglets are adorable!

Two major Tornadoes in Iowa yesterday. Quite the devastation. We have those people in our thoughts and prayers.
Luckily the nest was not hit, but man, were they swaying up there in the wind.
I keep my office computer on, with that site on the screen most of the day....Great screen saver.

I thought I was the only crazy adult to be watching them all the time. I too leave it on so when we walk by we can view the goings on. There have been some fantastic shots when they move the camera around. Yesterday they did the whole area showing the houses around the area the fast moving brook/river and showing just how high up in the tree they are. They must be close to another road besides the one that is in the every day shot as I heard a 18 wheeler the other evening coming to a stop with his Jake breaks and then leaving going through all the gears. Some days during the day you can hear people talking

Oh, I forgot, did any of you see them feasting on a nice rabbit yesterday. The chicks sure seemed to like it better than the fish diet they have been on.

Thank you for posting this site. I appreciate it.

I had it on all weekend and today at work. Everynow and then, I click over...check them out and back to work I go. It really is pretty cool. I showed my husband, kids and sent the link to co-workers. The eagles are awesome.

Thank you for sharing.

I found this article regarding the actual cam and its installation, used at the Decorah nest. I found it very interesting and thought I'd share for anyone else who might be interested. http://www.thonline.com/article.cfm?id=301569

Thanks for posting the address. All that info plus lots more is available on the site that you are watching the eagles on. Just scroll down and you will find many videos going back to Nov and them fight with a red tail hawk that is trying to get their food out of a snow filled nest. There are hundreds of questions answered and many still pictures of them doing the installation of the cams back last Oct I believe. Check it out by just scrolling down the page and enjoy. This guy has been having a ball reviewing and digging into the site and watching. It is a tax deductible organization and they even list how to donate if one chooses to.
If you click onto anything in blue in the write ups as you scroll you will find more info and videos/snap shots

Thank you RLW, the info that you posted about is going to be interesting to go through. Being a craniac, aka whooping crane fanatic, I've been watching the sandhill crane migration on the live cam located on the Platt River in NB. Although on the endangered species list (< 600 left), I have seen a few whooping cranes that are migrating along with the sandhills. The eagle cams are a nice break and this Decorah cam is just awesome. A great break when waiting for the cranes to come in a sunset.

I can't wait to go through and look at the archived videos and article. I'm sure it is a excellent reading.

Won't be long now and we'll start seeing the loon cams.

Thank you again.

I do not believe I have seen them. If you have any locations, would mind posting them when the time comes. I too enjoy viewing some of natures wonders.

Check out this Hummingbird nest [/URL]with babies. Quite a difference between large and small birds. http://www.ustream.tv/hummingbirdnestcam

What happened to the old eagle nest cam from Maine? I suppose the pair didn't return again and it was scrapped. I seem to remember them being referred to as the longest-nesting pair in the region.

RLW · 04-13-2011, 12:34 PM

Here is a great picture of the female sitting on the nest today.

There's at least one egg in the nest laid in late March.

Grant · 04-13-2011, 08:11 PM

Ha! Thanks. I knew that I should've just e-mailed you first. Great to see they are back.

A friend of mine watches the Maine nest. He recorded and was telling me that the female eagle was attacked by another eagle a couple weeks ago. Since the attack, she is seldom seen at the nest and when she is, only for short periods. Dad is the dedicated one by incubating the egg that is left. Some are saying that the egg(s) is non-viable from being exposed so long in the cold right after the attack. I guess it was left unattended for almost a day and dad would leave it for periods of time to go hunt for food. If viable, the egg(s) in the nest should hatch the end of April or first part of May.

pam.in.ny · 04-13-2011, 09:20 PM

RLW and anyone else who loves loons and interested in watching them.

Loon cams that will be coming online later this month and in May.

My Favorite because it reminds me of the Daisy Duck cam that was online a couple summers ago. Larry Backlund's MNBound Last year, the pair laid two eggs and both were non-viable.

Pacific Loons This is in Anchorage, AK. Last year, the pair laid two eggs and resulted with two chicks hatching. The first day the chicks went out for their first swim with mom, mom returned with only one chick.

BRI Cam This cam is in Maine and will be going live in May. I found this cam late in the season so didn't get to see the chicks.

I'm sure there may be other Loon cams online but the above three are the ones that I watched last year. It's nice being at work with the outdoor sounds playing in the background.
Hope you enjoy the loons this Spring.
