HHI Eagle Cam
Follow Along on Social Media
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.

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.

It has been 25 and 24 days since E4 and E3 hatched. The eaglets are in stage 2. At 4 weeks juvenile feathers begin to emerge through the thermal down. The top of the head, back, and lateral tracks are the first to show juvenile feathers.
So I'm interested in the difficulties of George and Gracie finding food this year compared to last year. Speaking as someone who spends WAAAAYYYYYY too much time monitoring the EagleCam, it seems to me they are having a tougher time this year stocking the prey pantry. I don't recall both of them being absent from the nest as much last year as this one, and I assume their absences are devoted to hunting. Would love thoughts from moderators...and anyone who tracks this as much as I do, which as I said, is too much...
Time for an afternoon snack!
Glad to see the E's figuring things out. Like walking and eating. 😚
E4 feeding it self ! 😀
Anybody know what kind of animal Gracie brought into the nest this morning? There were feathers flying everywhere. The E's were even tasting them. I don't think I've seen that many feathers in the nest before.
Breakfast this morning!
Feathered breakfast, after having fish earlier.
Check out those changing feathers!
