This is a follow-up to the April 12th post about the nesting eagles. Two eaglets were hatched last week. Click HERE to go directly to the eagle cam but please be aware that they are having problems with both the live cam and the still cam that is supposed to update every fifteen seconds. They have been trying to fix the problems, so far with little success. Still, it is worth taking the time to check it out. You may be lucky and find it working when you arrive.
There are other live feeds on this site that may interest you. The home page can be found HERE. The other birds include a nesting peregrine falcon, osprey and loon. Be sure to chek out this site for LOTS of information on the birds too. you can learn a lot about these birds by being able to see them in their natural habitat.

Each year, right around this time, I start watching the bald eagle web cams at the BioDiversity Research Institute. “Since 1998, BioDiver
sity 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.
