Watch an Eagles nest with eggs live

**englishcottage1** · 03-06-2011, 12:40 AM

I thought I might just throw this out there incase anyone is interested, I've been watching her for the past couple of days, she has three eggs and they are due to start hatching at the end of the month. She stays with the eggs most of the time, the male does come along to give her short breaks. I think it's really interesting and the kids love watching her too. She is in Iowa. Make sure you click on the link, below it says its off air but its not.

This is so cool! It will be amazing when the eggs hatch and watching the care the mother gives. Do you have this on facebook?

Thanks ec1.........will have to check in periodically.

Pretty cool.........would be neat to see the babies.

I went to see 'ours' once this winter.....but was too late in the day to see them feed.......lots of them come in to feed and stay over in Idaho. They will almost all have left now.

There is a live Loon Cam here Minnesota Bound - Home
Its not on the air yet, but we enjoy watching it every year. Looks like they have added an Owl Cam as well.

Thanks for the info. I've been watching it and am 'hooked'. Can't wait for the hatching - then the first flight. Mom and Dad are sure dedicated.

Just wanted to remind everyone that the hatching should be soon. I've been watching them this morning and "dad" has been coming back but "mom" isn't leaving when he does. They stated that the first egg should hatch around tomorrow or friday and then every couple of days after for the other two. Keeping fingers crossed that everything goes well!

Very Cool I can't wait to show DD when she gets home from school today.

Would love to see this however it always seems to be offline.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a time it is on?

The live feed has been on 24/7, the chat area is only open until 8pm, I think. I haven't had any problems with it.

I haven't either. I usually check on it a couple times a day.

It just worked fine for me. It does run an ad when you first log on and takes about 15-20 seconds for that to go away.

Three eggs.......wish they would hurry up and hatch.

Have been watching the hummers too. So cute!
