The nest on the Eagle cam is located on private property in an undisclosed area. Eagles can be quite sensitive to human activity while nesting and the nest tree is on private property.  This is believed to be at least the 14th season for this pair of eagles. During the 2023-2024 nesting season, the eagles had three eggs with two eaglets fledging.  The 2024-2025 nesting season was the first season viewed with the Land Trust Eagle CAM, and we watched two eaglets successfully fledge.

August 17th  6:58 am    First sighting in the nest and nestoration begins.

Reminder to Viewers:

Just as we experienced with Harriet and Mitch, we are viewing a wild eagle nest. While we hope that all eggs hatch and grow to be healthy and successful fledges each season, things like sibling rivalry, predators, illness, natural disasters as well as territorial disputes can affect wildlife. Nature may be difficult to watch. 

 

About seeing the nest at night: We have an IR camera using infrared lighting that is imperceptible to the eagles. If you were to visit the nest site in person at night, it would look completely dark.

This Cam does not interfere or intervene and allows nature to take its course. This live stream is intended to educate the viewers by showing nature in an unguarded fashion. You will see nature at its best, and possibly its worst. You will see life being started and sustained, in very natural ways. It is nature at her finest.

Rules of the site:  Keep your comments focused on the topic at hand.  Be polite and remember the "Golden Rule."  No spamming, baiting or trolling.  Comments can be removed at the discretion of the moderators and Hilton Head Island Land Trust.  If someone writes something you don't like, NEVER engage them.  Content that falls under the following is subject to immediate removal:  Profane, defamatory, offensive or violent language; attacks on specific groups or any comments meant to harass, threaten or abuse an individual; hateful or discriminatory comments; commercial solicitations; content determined to be inappropriate in poor taste, or otherwise contrary to the purposes of this community.

Have we seen both Es lately or can we tell them apart at this point? Just wondering if we can verify that both littles are thriving?

One of the E's eating what appears to be a fish.

Thanks for the great close-ups of Gracie as she waited for the E’s and then finally decided to eat the fish.

Curious: why do we sometimes see what appears to be down amongst Gracie’s feathers. As she’s standing on the nest the winds are buffeting her feathers and there are white “bits” that look like down.

Great question. Eagles, like all birds, undergo molting, which is a natural process where old, worn or damaged feathers are shed and replaced with new ones to ensure proper flight, insulation and display.  This process is gradual because losing all feathers at once would make the eagle a flightless and vulnerable to predators.  Typically eagles mold throughout the year, with a peak period in late spring and summer, often after the breeding season.

Wondering if they eat away from the nest? Seems like they aren’t getting much at the nest. The days of the nice fish pantry are gone for sure. Guess that’s growing up…

Looks like a full crop on the E in the foreground. Hoping it means they are both getting fed or hunting successfully!
