Each year, right around this time, I start watching the bald eagle web cams at the BioDiversity Research Institute. “Since 1998, BioDiversity Research Institute (BRI) has been playing an innovative and critical role in the development of sustainable practices through ecological research, collaborative projects, and conducting proactive outreach to policy makers and the public.”

The site is fascinating. Folks can watch live video of a nesting pair of Bald Eagles, 24 hours a day. At this time, the eagle is sitting on two eggs. Is is possible that she may lay another one but two eggs are common. The female eagle sits on the nest 75% of the time with the male sitting the rest of the time. These eggs should hatch around the 6th of May.  The fun really begins then as the parents feed the young and then the young get ready to leave the nest. This is better that watching any TV program.

Click HERE to head on over and visit the site. There is a “Watch Live” button below the second photo. Be sure to check out the “Online Cam Community” and the “Blog” while you are there.  In addition to the eagles, they also have an osprey cam, finch cam, peregrine falcon cam and there will be a loon cam soon. If you enjoy this site as much as I do, please consider becoming a WebCam Member with a donation. Your support will help to maintain cameras, purchase and install new ones, and continue research.
